Pecan Halibut Sandwich

In Appleton, WI there is a little restaurant called Pullman's At Trolley Square. The best thing I ever had there was the Pecan Halibut. I always have them make it a sandwich (not on the menu, but you can ask for it) I moved to the east cost about a year ago and have been trying to recreate it ever since.
 

Here it is and it is good. I adapted Pecan Crusted Halibut recipe to fit my sandwich needs. (Original recipe can be found here)
 
Ingredients:
 
-1 cup all-purpose flour
-1/2 teaspoon sea salt
-3/4 teaspoon black pepper
-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
-2 large eggs
-1 1/4 cups pecans, finely chopped
-1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs
-8 (6-ounce) skinless halibut fillets
-1/4 cup butter
-8-16 rolls


Directions:

 

Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk mustard and eggs in another shallow bowl. Combine pecans and breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.

 

Dredge each halibut fillet in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip halibut in egg mixture to coat; drain excess. Place halibut in pecan mixture, pressing slightly to coat both sides of the fillet.

 

Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add fillets, in batches, and cook 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned, adding additional butter as needed. Arrange fillets on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until done. Serve on toasted rolls.

 

I use small potato rolls that are found in the bakery section at Walmart, and I melt a small dish of butter to dip the sandwich in. (I'm sure that much butter is bad for you, but it's so tasty) For sides I make fresh asparagus and homemade mashed potatoes.

 

 

 

Tuna Quesadilla

Canned (or pouch) tuna is inexpensive, easy, and delicious! I am always excited for recipes that use tuna. Even if tuna isn’t your favorite, this recipe is a great one! 
 
 

This recipe is also a kid friendly one. Our twins are almost two and were big fans! It is a great way to get some good nutrition to the little ones. The mess is minimal too, which is something I look for when finding recipes for the kids.

 

 Ingredients:
 

1 pouch (4.5 oz) Tuna (I like the how easy and convenient the pouches are)
½ cup shredded Colby-jack cheese blend
1 1/2 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 flour tortillas, burrito size (8 – 10 inches)
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

 

Directions:

In a small bowl mix tuna, cream cheese, shredded cheese salt and pepper until blended.
Spread tuna mixture on one tortilla shell, to the edges.
Top with the other tortilla shell.
Spray a large skillet, lightly, with vegetable spray and heat over medium heat. 
Add the tortilla and brown the shell in the skillet until golden brown, about 2 – 3 minutes on each side.
Cut the shell into 8 wedges and serve.

 

We like to top ours with salsa and sour cream!
