Here is a great weeknight dinner, pan seared haddock with a broccoli puree, easy and fast.
For the fish:
2 fillets of haddock 110 g (4 oz)
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
Heat a heavy bottom pan with the butter and olive oil, season the fish with salt & pepper. When the butter starts to melt add the fish and cook about 4 minutes per side. The fish will cook quickly. When the fish is cooked remove to a plate.
For the broccoli:
1 head of broccoli
1/2 leek
salt & peper
lemon & zest of one lemon
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
Cut up the broccoli and leek and heat a pan of water and bring to a boil, add the salt and broccoli and leek and cook till tender. Drain the broccoli and with a blender or imersion blender puree the broccoli and leek, add a pat of butter and season with salt and pepper.
I added a serrano pepper because I love the heat.

Mustard seed Salmon with broccoli rabe
A perfect weekday dinner and healthy also. I love salmon and the skin crispy is also yummy. This is very easy and almost does not need a recipe.
Ingredints:
Salmon filets
Mustard Seeds
Broccoli rabe
red onion (I usually use garlic, but didn't have any, so I used red onion
olive oil
Method:
Salmon:
Make a crust of mustard seeds on top of the salmon fillet. Heat a heavy bottom pan and add the salmon flesh side (the side that has the mustard seeds) down and cook for about 4 minutes, when browned slightly turn over and cook for another 5 minutes.
Broccoli rabe:
Clean and blanch the broccoli rabe for just a minute or two, drain the rabe. In a heavy bottom pan, add the red onion and olive and saute till soft. Add the rabe and cook for a few minutes, salt to taste and your done.
