GRILLED ONO WITH AVOCADO SALSA

 GRILLED ONO WITH AVOCADO SALSA

DINNER AT HOME

Fresh Ono was available so I bought some nice pieces for just under $10.  Made a White Wine Butter Sauce with some Shallots, Garlic, Chicken Stock and Cream to go on the bottom and topped the fish with an Avocado Salsa.  Loved this because it looked and tasted so good.  The sauce was perfect with the firm meaty Ono and the Avocado Salsa was an extra layer of flavor with the fish and vegetables.

Amazed when I hit the market and found super fresh Hawaii Ono for $3.99 per pound.  For comparison, Mahi Mahi was $13.99 per pound.  Imagine a fresh fish dinner for three for under $10 total I thought.  Got home and pulled together a great sauce for this dish.  Sauteed Shallots and Garlic and then deglazed with White Wine.  Added Cream and some Butter and Bam!  One delicious sauce that was perfect for the pasta and Ono.  This was good.  Real good.  Super good.

So happy when I go into Foodland and find fresh fish available at a great price.  Ono was $6.99 per pound so I was able to make a great tasting and healthy dinner for three for around ten bucks.

Ono is a close relative to King Mackerel.  In Hawaiian, Ono means "sweet, very good to eat".  The filets can be sautéed, broiled, grilled or fried.  I like putting them on the outdoor grill or grill pan. 

The fish is very mild so I would recommend seasoning well or adding a good sauce.  I prepared a quick Salsa using fresh Papaya and Avocado.

DINNER AT HOME

Trying really hard to get my diet back on track and stick to healthier dishes.  The market had the usual Mahi Mahi at $15.99 per pound and fresh Hawaiian Ono for $12.99 per pound.  I went for the Ono.  Ono is a close relative to the King Mackerel and means "sweet, very good to eat" in Hawaiian.  I grilled the Ono on an Indoor Grill Pan with Pam Cooking spray to reduce calories and fat.  My calories and fat came from the sauce that consisted of reduced chicken stock, creme, butter and orange juice.  Had to use orange juice because I did not have lemon.  Turned out great.  Served with Jasmine Rice and steamed broccoli.  Entire family loved this meal.  I will make it again and again.
