Recipe: Bacon-Wrapped Fish
4 mild fish filets (I used Wild Hake from Costco)
3/4 to 1 lb bacon
olive oil for basting
couple pinches red pepper flakes
1-2 TBSP avocado or coconut oil
Heat avocado or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, baste each fish filet with olive oil on both sides, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and then wrap bacon around each one. I had to use 3-4 pieces per fish. I was actually worried about how the bacon would stay put, but I just made sure to tuck each end under, and I had no problems! Once you are ready, carefully place each fish filet in the skillet. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove lid, and very carefully flip each filet over. Let cook another 5-6 minutes, until fish is done. Serve promptly

Just came across your site and I am inspired by your stories. It seems like you have a very beautiful family!
I am also inspired by the picture of bacon wrapped fish! I will have to try that, I might see how it is with turkey bacon..
