Fresh caught Seasoned Grilled Redfish in a Lime Butter Sauce.....Hoping my good friend Drick at Drick's Rambling Cafe likes this one as his fish stories, wonderful fish recipes and food blog always inspire me and this recipe is a little like the Cajun way!
A big thanks goes out to my fabulous fisherman husband Nemo, who caught one of our favorites this morning at 7am! Below is the heavenly butter sauce that will go all over this delightful fresh catch! Lime, butter and garlic....smells so good, while its cooking.
Cajun seasonings, olive oil, lime and more are rubbed all over this beauty!
Seasoned to perfection and then grilled until fish is done and flakes away with a fork. Careful art goes into making great filets..he did a great job no bones about it!
You may have seen a previous post on Fried Florida Redfish Italian Style , which has instructions on how to filet this. Or maybe you never heard of this kind of fish, Redfish and your missing out on this. This is one of the most sought after fish along with Snook, in Florida waters, in the rivers and beaches, they feed and live in shallow water in seagrass and hard to come by. So last year my husband Nemo finally got a Kayak so he can go out and fish for these..here is his first catch of this season!
Amazing catch this wonderful Sunday morning in the Indian River Lagoon near Cocoa, Florida, just before 7am. My adorable hubby caught this awesome Redfish for our lunch today, so lucky this Redfish, was in the right slot size at 26 inches, this bad boy was coming home with papa Nemo!Ok so here's what you do!
Grilled Redfish:
Aluminum foil
2 large fresh Redfish cleaned made into filets preferably with skins on as it will stay juicier as it cooks on the grill the skin will fall right off the fish when cooked (he totally skinned this one before I could tell him to leave it on)
Olive oil
2 teaspoons of minced garlic
garlic powder
1 bottle of worcestershire sauce
Cajun seasonings( I used Weber seasonings)
rose salt or sea salt
fresh limes 2 or 3
Lay a big enough piece of foil out to fit your filet on, one for each piece of fish. Pour olive oil on the foil around 1/4 cup, coat fish on both side. Generously sprinkle with worcestershire sauce on one side, sprinkle top with garlic powder, cajun seasoning, rose or sea salt, and juice of 1/2 lime. Fold up the sides and middle of foil. Place on grill. Cook till fish is white and gently pulls away.
Lime Butter Sauce
In a large fry pan:
melt 1 stick of butter
add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic
add a drop of worcestershire sauce
Whisk all together.
Add 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro or italian parsley, and the juice of one fresh lime. Cook just a few minutes on low, making sure all the flavors have combine. Pour over grilled Redfish~
