Best recipe yet

[tylerdurden]

Baked fish is good but I find it tends to bleed the fish of flavor, And I can only have so much fry fish. This one is awesome tho, had some flounder last nite with it, was still able to taste its unique flavor but not get the heavy feeling of fried fish great left over as well. I used the red skinned instant potatos tho which are really good for instants to begin with. Anyways this I think is my go to for fish for a while its really good try it out let me know what you think

TD--I got that recipe card a Publix a few weeks ago and tried that one with some trout. That definitely is a good one.

Those Publix Aprons recipes are excellent. I've got a whole book full of them. It really impresses the ladies too. LOL

Looks good, But all that butter and taters is better for you then just flour fried fish?

[eaglesfanguy]

My favorite recipe for snapper and grouper is simple and easy on the grill.
I have a fish grill basket thingy. I coat fillets in extra virgin olive oil, Fresh ground pepper, sea salt, and a dash of onion and garlic powder. Place on hot grill about 5 minutes a side. Flip it . Pull fillets and eat. or make Taco's. Heart healthy and fat free.

EFG--Your recipe is pretty much how I cook most of my fish. I just change up the spice.

I do some of those Publix recipes from time to time, but you're right some of those are definitely not healthier than straight up fish in olive oil.

[eaglesfanguy]

Heck yea Michael. I like my fish to taste like they do, rather then fried chicken.
I love me some Publix! I have a drawer full of recipe cards..

I mix up spices also. I am just not going to tell everyone my speciality..
The generic recipe i posted is just a base to start from...
Now i just need some fresh fish..

[tylerdurden]

Yeah EFG keep rubbing it in how great fish is on the grill lol. Until I move out of this condo I cant even get one of those little 8 dollar grills from walmart. But I cant wait till I can, grilled fish looks awesome

Im with Eagles on this one. Grilled beats just about every other way.

Yesterday I grilled the last fillets of Red Snapper and Amberjack I had left from a trip last month....a little EVO, sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Just before they were done, I squeezed some lemon juice on em. They were friggin OUTSTANDING. I was really surprised how good the AJ was. Im definitely gonna be taking my butterfly jigs with me every time I go offshore...Last trip out, we saw tons of AJs but couldnt get em to bite...I rigged up a jig, and in 3 drops, I caught 3 AJs. At that point I was sore enough to quit. Lol

Tyler, Im in the same boat as you -- no grills allowed at my apt complex, so I took the fillets over to a friends house and grilled em up. I also use instant potato flakes for cooking oven fried chicken. I add a little Everglades or Cavanders seasoning to the flakes for a little added flavor. Dip in egg wash, coat with flakes and bake in the oven. EXCELLENT.

Steve.... I remember it like yesterday on that first drop on the vertical jig. .......5 cranks and slam !!!! It's a good pain tho. Those times are coming back sooner than later. You guys need to check with the local Fire Dept. 99% of the time, "electric grills" are legal in condos and apts. I do it all the time. Once you burn in the electric grill it tastes the same. Trust me. Been doin it for years. Make the call.

[eaglesfanguy]

I live in a non bbq condo community. But we all have grills. Been here 5 years never a question about it.
They were gonna toss us out cause my Lab was over 80 lbs, But not a word about the grill, or electric smoker. Fuggem

[eaglesfanguy]

Habachi grills are easliy hidden ...........Most apt complexes the staff leaves by 6pm. Play stupid.

After the doc telling me my blood resembled honey I been experimenting with baked fish, here is one killer recipe>>

Baked Grouper with Rockefeller Topping

6 Grouper filets

Rockefeller Topping:
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped red pepper
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/2 lb. bacon
1/2 lb. butter
3 lbs. spinach, chopped
1/2 cup Pernod liqueur
2 Tbsp. blackening mix
3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. tabasco
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. black pepper
Hollandaise sauce

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In saute pan, brown bacon and butter. Add vegetables and sweat. Add spinach and cook through. Add remaining ingredients and simmer to thicken. Bake fish at 400 degrees until half done.
Top fish with Rockefeller sauce with a dab of Hollandaise Sauce and finish cooking until done.

Hollandaise Sauce

3 egg yolks
1 teapsoon water
1/4 teaspoon sugar
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

Pour 1-inch of water into a large saucepan; over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low.

Place egg yolks and 1 teaspoon water in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until mixture lightens in color, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sugar and whisk for another 30 seconds.

Place the mixture over the simmering water and whisk constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, or until there is a clear line that is drawn in the mixture when you pull your whisk through, or the mixture coats the back of a spoon.

Remove the bowl from over the pan and gradually add the butter, 1 piece at a time, and whisk until all of the butter is incorporated. Place the bowl back over the simmering water occasionally so that it will be warm enough the melt the butter. Add the salt, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Serve immediately or hold in a thermos to keep warm.

Tommy, that sounds tasty but all that butter, bacon , heavy cream and Hollandaise sauce . WOW how do you get the blood to flow. You have one strong heart . Do not tell your Doctor.

Simple way to cook the fish is to leave the head and tail on, gut it and wrap in Alum foil with a little beer or wine. Cook on indirect head and season to taste.

Lol, I hear ya Monty. This is one of those once a week kinda meals, rest of the week its steamed or grilled fish over fresh greens. This blood thing is gonna be the end of me, HDL/LDL were fine, triglycerides were 3 times what the high was supposed to be @450. Guess thats what growing up in the south and being born with crisco around my neck did.
