First draft plate-up: oat-crusted wahoo with pan-seared bok choy, herb-garlic yogurt sauce, pickled slaw, and rice.

I'm not sold on the presentation yet; the rice might be better off OTS and I could certainly use a more even browning on the oat crust. And more slaw! I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was, LMAO. Also a different plate with more negative space would look better, but I work with what I got.

Completely gluten-free and egg-free (it'd be vegan if not for the Greek yogurt)!

I've been on a serious BLT kick for the past few months: BLTs, ELTs, BELTs; I've done it all in a number of different ways.

Having an excess of bacon grease lying around ain't a bad byproduct, either 😉

BLT Day isn't until tomorrow, but I thought I'd celebrate early!
