Name: Ayala Spice Slow Roasted Fluke with Schmaltz, Leeks, and Celery
Yield: 3-4
Ingredients: 1 pound fluke fillet, cut into 3 or 4 portions; Ayala N16; 3 celery stalks, washed and sliced; 1 large leek, cut in half, washed and diced; Schmaltz or duck fat (or olive oil or butter)

This one pan dish is perfect for a quick meal and would work with many types of fish and vegetables. Leeks are sadly not used enough so my hope is that this dish will get more people excited to cook with them as well as roasted celery stalk, which both deserve more credit. The Ayala spice works great since it has both salt and pepper in it, so no need to add any more.
