If you're like me, then you most likely come home from a restaurant with a doggy bag. The only problem is whatever is left over never looks as good or fresh as it did in the restaurant. Most likely your sides have already been eaten, and you're left with something like this:
That was a fillet of seafood stuffed sole from a certain, very popular, seafood and lobster restaurant ;) It had originally come with a side, I chose broccoli. To recreate the meal at home I used some frozen broccoli florets I had on hand as well as frozen lobster tails from my freezer.
I simmered the lobster tails (very simply) in equal amounts butter and olive oil until they were warmed through and seasoned the sauce with salt and pepper.
When the lobster butter sauce was poured over the fish and the broccoli it brought it back to life and truly made a delicious meal using a leftover piece of fish. Although I basically just recreated the meal from the night before there are many ways to use leftover fish. You can make a sandwich, salad, frittata, fish stew, fish tacos, and the list goes on and on. It's all about using what you have on hand and turning something small and leftover into an extraordinary new meal!
