Only a couple of days before I travel, let's start with the fish ...

There is nothing better than a nice, fresh piece of fish to dress up with all sorts of fun things.  Tonight I found a beautiful piece of Snowy Grouper at Whole Foods that I knew would be perfect under the broiler.

I dressed up the fish with some fresh broccolini, black beans & rice and avocado salsa.  The black beans and rice is a recipe that I iterate on often, but always come back to a basic recipe.

Tom's quick black beans & rice
1 can 14.5oz black beans
1 pkg saffron rice
2 cups beef stock
1 pkg Goya sazon

Put all contents in a 3 qt saute pan, and put on medium high heat.  Bring to a boil, stirring often, reduce heat to low & cover.  Continue to simmer until rice & beans have absorbed liquid (stirring occasionally) ... reduce from heat and remain covered for 5 minutes.  Fluff and serve.
