Mary’s Fish and Vegetables; a Stir-fry

6/5/2026 – Mary wanted to make a dish but was tired of looking for recipes; so she just did the process she knew using what we had. The next day, to get Tom off her back, she wrote down what she did. This was a great meal served with Jasmine rice.

Ingredients

  • 4 – Pacific Whiting Fillets (frozen from Publix)
  • Fish – Pat dry and season with blackening seasoning, Salt and Pepper, and Piper’s Jalapeno seasoning.
  • ½ shallot, small diced
  • 4 garlic cloves – small diced
  • Olive oil – enough to slightly cover the bottom of a #8 non stick skillet
  • White wine – enough to deglaze the pan
  • 4 Tablespoons of butter
  • Mixed vegetables sliced for stir fry.  Carrots, yellow squash, zucchini, ½ Vedalia onion. Cut the vegetables to equal sizes and place in a bowl.  Spray with avocado oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Directions

  7. Add the butter. Cook until melted.
