Dinner for One

After being away for so much of last week, I was excited to go home and cook something.

I stopped by Gristedes on the way home from work to get some groceries to execute on my plan. I grabbed an artichoke, a bag of lemons and a filet of scrod to pair with some brown rice I already had in the cabinet. I trimmed up the artichoke and set it to steam. Marinated the fish in lemon juice, olive oil, dried herbs: thyme, parsley, rosemary, and crushed red pepper. Set up the brown rice in the rice cooker and then sautéed the scrod when the rice and artichoke were nearly done. I made a spicy ranch dressing with sriracha and hidden valley to dip the artichoke and it was off to the races with dinner for one!
