Want to add this little Citrus in the butter that’s really going to do it Chef just be doing stuff I’m just letting you know now we just be having fun making stuff up as we go cuz that’s what life’s about making it up as you Go what’s up teacups happy New Year it is my favorite time of year it’s a fresh start there’s so much ahead we have a blank canvas and there’s nothing like getting started and getting excited but in order to do that we have to fuel our bodies our minds and our Spirits with

Something delicious and nutritious that’s going to help us endure this beautiful year so that being said we can start the year off with a little bit of black ey peas and we’re going to be making a black ey PE salad with black and fish let’s get it uh for the black

And fish today I’m going to be using halit use the fish of your choice and I have a little bit of a black and spice mix right here halit can take a lot of seasoning so I’m going to go ahead and just make sure that it’s seasoned beautifully on both sides next we’re

Going to get into prepping our black ey PE salad I don’t know if you guys have had a black ey PE salad but as you know black ey peas are supposed to bring you Prosperity throughout the new year it is a tradition first things first we’re

Going to build our vinegret so for the vinegret I’m going to take take a bowl here I have some roasted bell peppers and I’m adding the juice from those roasted bell peppers and then I’m just going to give these a little bit of a chop for me in the beginning of the year

All the time I want to start out clean I want to start out super healthy and most of you are trying to do the same thing so for this recipe it’s perfect for like getting into meal prop and like getting into just something light and healthy so

You don’t want to go too fine on the chop just like that and this is one of my favorite dressings ever you can store this in a mason jar and it is good to go for a couple weeks so once we have our roasted bell peppers chopped I’m going to add a

Little bit of apple cider vinegar we’re going to add a little hot sauce yes we’re adding a little hot sauce Louisiana style I like red rooster if you know you know going to give this a little mix I’m going to be adding in some shallots adding in some

Garlic and I’m also going to be adding in some beautiful charred Citrus cuz it is Peak Citrus season so I’m going to be adding in a little bit of charred lemon juice into the vinegret as well as some charred orange juice we’re going to give this a little

Mixy Mixie and of course like all vinegars you’re going to need to add a little bit of olive oil or olive oil or any oil of choice actually little bit of salt and of course some fresh Cracked Pepper we’re going to give this a little whisky whiskey whisk I mean

Wow M that’s bomb that is so good that hot sauce does it so I’m going into a larger bowl with the vinegret little chunky vinegar and then we’re going to add in our black app peases right up in there I mean who doesn’t love a black ey PE salad like

What going to give this a little mixy mix and into this I’m going to be adding in some cucumbers for some Crunch and some freshness so I’m going to just take the cucumbers and I’m quartering them and I like to keep them kind of chunky so

After you quarter them you could just do a little slicey slice action and pop that in there as well Little Mix I’m going go ahead and add a little an extra cucumber who else like me is always starting the year off like super clean super healthy and like

Ready with all the energy that’s why we’re eating clean because like we need all the energy to live a fruitful and beautiful new year all right so I’m adding it in the Cucumber that looks so good are you kidding me I could eat that just by itself like I said we’re keeping it

Light we’re keeping it fresh cuz we have all these things to look forward to so one of my favorite things to keep things light and fresh it’s just a little bit of mint you don’t want to go too fine just give it a little chop it’ll do what it’s supposed to do

Gorgeous and to spice it up just a teeny bit I’m going to take half a chili use a chili of your choice okay don’t don’t do what I’m doing I’m using a Sano I like it a little spicy I like anticipation I want to keep coming back for another

Bite so we’re going to chop some chili up in here that’s going in going to give this a little mixy mix beans are flying things is moving give a taste m m a little bit of salt but all the other flavors are there so I’m team fish I

Could be a pascatarian literally all year round and I like to start out having a nice light meal so in my hot pan I’m going to add a little bit of olive oil and then I’m going to go and add the fish skin side down all right

Make sure your fish is nice and coated and seasoning skin side down and a nice medium high heat just like that comment down below what are your resolutions this year and if you don’t do resolutions what’s just something that you either want to let go of this year or that you

Would like to attract into your life comment down below I’m sending you guys all the positive vibes so you’re going to go ahead and just mix this around make sure the skin isn’t sticking oo child things are going to get EAS who else is like declining by month

Three and eating all of the things that we said we weren’t going to eat hopefully we stick to our plan all right beautiful people we have a nice crust on our halit skin so it’s time to turn it over Wow that’s gorgeous all right I said I was going healthyish cleanest but I’m there’s no way that I’m making halab without a few tablespoons of butter going in all right but for my people that is like trying to cut the dairy out I feel you I just need

This we need that we need it it’s necessary so once we get that butter in there nice little base on the fish gorgeous beautiful I love fish I love halib it I love new beginnings and I love giving my body the fuel that it needs in a way of nourishing myself in a

Way of nourishing my psyche my mental health my physical health my spiritual health I want to add this little Citrus in the butter that’s really going to do it Chef’s just be doing stuff I’m just letting you know now we just be having fun making stuff up as we

Go cuz that’s what life’s about making it up as you go so for me I like my halet like a medium well I don’t like my fish to be super dry if you want you can go ahead and give it a nice sear on all sides might as well while we’re

Here typically it’s like a southern tradition to have black ey peas in the beginning of the year it’s supposed to make sure that your year is abundant and prosperous and just a positive one so I like to make sure to start the year off with the little black ey peas okay make

Sure I’m not missing any of my blessings all right while the fish is continuing I’m going to add just a little bit of arugula into the bowl just a little Tossy toss I don’t want the arugula to be like the star you know we want the black ey piece to really give what

They’re supposed to give I just want the arugula to add body and kind of uplift give a little bit of a peppery note to The Vibes as you can see I’m kind of like checking the fish as we go giving a little tap just to check my denness like

I said I like a medium well I got about like 3 more minutes hit takes a long time to cook cuz it’s like a thicker fish so I have about 3 more minutes and we’ll be ready to go I don’t know about you but I’m ready to eat a little something

Something so I’m going to take our Black Op peie salad mhm little scallions are going in here little light Fry and then we’re going to do a little bit of sauteed Greens on top of the fish because we all in the green this year baby we we in it for the greens how about that otherwise what are we doing it for greens health and all of the beautiful

Things this looks like a beautiful start to the year and I’m here for it of course a little squeeze of course a little bit of lemon juice to have a nice brightness I’m trying to be intentional this year I want it bright I want it green I want it healthy I want it

Prosperous and delicious all year round that looks delicious m I must say if this is what the rest of the year is tasting and looking like sign me up there’s textures it’s fresh it’s bright there’s so many textures going on the Cucumbers the beans the succulent fish I mean and the pepper the
