Trial and Error: Safe blackened filet of sole with avocado salad and Spanish rice

Error.
Looks delicious, right?

Not. Mouth-burningly salty. And still somehow boring. Blech. A nice palate cleansing cup of rose congou tea should help, and perhaps a dessert of creamed honey on a rice cake?




Lessons:

• never follow a recipe for seasoning (2 tsps salt! too much!)
• don't use broth as the only liquid for rice (too much salt!)
• most broth has sugar in it, and corn solids, and yeast - read labels carefully...
• it's hard to blacken without garlic (or a Cajun uncle)
  
• radishes alone are not a proper palate cleanser
