Louisiana Grilled Redfish :)
Ingredients :)
Redfish fillet, leave skin on
Basil
Parsley
Salt
Garlic pepper
Lemon pepper
Butter
Grated fresh Parmesan cheese (not canned)
Cut slits in redfish filet, to skin, about 3/4" apart. Sprinkle with basil, parsley, salt, garlic pepper and lemon pepper. Be generous with spices, but use more lemon pepper than garlic pepper. Place redfish, skin down on the grill. Cover and cook over medium heat until hot, then baste with butter. Continue cooking (a large redfish will require about 30 minutes) until meat lifts easily from the skin, basting occasionally with butter. Sprinkle Parmesan over top, cover and cook until cheese has begun to melt...Cut in serving size portions and remove from skin with spatula. Optional basting: Use a good Italian dressing. Serve with garlic bread, mixed green salad with tomatoes and radishes, and buttermilk dressing!!!

Broiled flounder fillets with mustard

8 amall, skinless, boneless flounder fillets, about 1 and 1/4 pound. Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tabls peanut, vegetable or corn oil
2 tabls mayo
1 tabls Dijon mustard
2 tsps finely chopped parsley
4 lemon wedges

1. Preheat broiler on high
2. Place the fillet halves on a flat surface, sprinkle with salt and pepper, brush on the oil
3. Arrange the fillets on a baking sheet. Blend the mayo, mustard and parsely, brush it evenly over the fillets
4. Place the fillets under the broiler, about 3 to 4 inches from the source of heat. Leave the oven door ajar. Broil about 1 minute or until golden brown on top and the fish is just cooked through. Serve with the lemon wedges.

I like to serve a side dish of zucchini with summer herbs. Goes well with the flounder. Second side dish I like is sauteed cherry tomatoes in galic and extra virgin olive oil. Yum. You'll make the fish again, no doubt.

I caught Two specs the weekend of the 4th. Filleted and left the skin on. Grilled in foil with butter and McCormick's Italian Seasoning. Grill until the meat flakes, and it will seperate from the skin.

now i'm hungry!
