Andouille Crusted Redfish With Creole Meuniere Sauce Recipes

CREOLE REDFISH COURT-BOUILLON

Steps:

• Heat the 1/2 cup of the oil in a Dutch oven or large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the flour, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly with a large wooden spoon, to make a roux the color of peanut butter, about 15 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers, and celery, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the garlic and bay leaves, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Place the tomato paste in a small bowl and whisk in the sherry to blend. Add to the pot, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the stock, whisking to blend. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring, occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low then whisk in the butter, bit by bit, until incorporated. Remove from the heat, taste, and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Preheat a grill to medium. To grill the fish, brush the fish all over with the olive oil and season the fish with the Essence. Grill the fish, basting occasionally with additional olive oil for about 8 minutes. Turn the fish and grill briefly on the second side. Return the court bouillon to the heat, add the fish, and simmer until just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes longer. To serve, spoon 1/2 cup of rice into the center of six large soup bowls and divide the red fish court bouillon equally among them. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley or green onion.

RED FISH MEUNIERE PECAN

Steps:

• Combine corn flower, white flour, creole seasoning, and white pepper together in a bowl or dish.
• Heat olive oil and one tablespoon butter in large frying pan on Med heat.
• Dredge red fish (can sub trout) in seasoned flour mixture, making sure to tap extra flour off before placing in hot pan. Turn heat to Med-High and let cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, lightly shaking the pan by the handle over the heat for the first minute to avoid the fish from sticking (and again when you flip over).
• Once fish is done remove and place on a plate or serving dish.
• Immediately add butter, lemon juice, parsley, Worcestershire and sprinkle of salt to hot pan. Let butter melt and the sauce start to bubble, will turn a very light brownish color. Remove pan from heat and pour the butter/meuniere sauce over fillets.
• Sprinkle fillets with toasted pecan pieces.
• Serve with rice and veggies. I like to garnish with thin lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
