well now that ive gotten decent at catching redfish, of course now its time to cook em. ive found theyre good fried, grilled, and stuffed like flounder, but what else do people do to cook redfish? im open to any suggestions.
This works GREAT for thicker filets like redfish, tilefish, striper, salmon, snapper, grouper, and hogfish (my fave).
For two (or four) big filets (1/2+ lb each). Mix up 3/4 cup of Duke’s mayo, 1/4 cup of good dry wine, 1 TBS of good horseradish, 1/4 cup of grated italian hard cheese(s), 3 TBS of lemon or lime juice, 1/2 stick of warm melted butter. Make sure this mixed really smooth. You can marinate the filets in this mix for 1 hr in the frig covered. You can use an oven or a grill… if oven, put filets in lightly oiled pan, cover with some sauce and BAKE on 400 for 15 to 20 mins until the sauce is bubbling good. Add a bit more sauce and cheese and cook another 5 mins. Serve it up! If Grillin, put some spray oil on 15x15 heavy duty foil, turn up the edges, put fish filets on foil skin side down (if skin on) and cover the filets with the sauce. Use a HOT grill (400+) then turn the burners down to LOW about 15 mins into cooking. Let cook for total of 20 mins, add more sauce if need be, cook 5 mins more.
I’ve used this grill/bake recipe for a long time. I hope you enjoy it.
Eatin the money fast as I can!
makes a great fish stew!!!
