Creole Fish Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, saute onion, celery, and green pepper for 10 minutes or until tender.
• Stir in undrained stewed tomatoes, garlic and brown Sugar Twin.
• Add fish and mix gently to combine.
• Lower heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• For each serving, place 1/2 cup rice on a plate and spoon about 1 full cup fish mixture over top.

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.

Steps:

• Mix together oregano, salt, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, and basil in a small bowl; set aside.
• Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat; stir in tomato, onion, celery, green bell pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in chicken stock, tomato sauce, sugar, hot pepper sauce, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to low and bring sauce to a simmer. Stir in seasoning mix and simmer until the flavors have blended, about 20 minutes.
• Gently stir in rock shrimp, bay scallops, and haddock; bring sauce back to a simmer and cook until the shellfish and fish are opaque, about 20 more minutes. Remove bay leaves to serve.

Steps:

• Combine the rice with 1 3/4 cups water and the sliced ginger in a medium saucepan; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 16 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thyme, bell peppers, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the garlic and grated ginger and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the curry powder and cook until toasted, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until saucy, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and nestle the fish in the sauce. Cover and cook, turning the fish halfway through, until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Discard the ginger from the rice and divide the rice among bowls. Top with the fish and discard the thyme. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Thoroughly combine all ingredients in a blender, food processor, or mixing bowl, and pour the mixture into a large glass or plastic jar. Seal it so that it's airtight. It will keep indefinitely.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan.
• Add the onion, celery and chili powder, and sauté lightly about 8-10 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes through worcestershire sauce.
• Bring to a boil and add the frozen fish.
• Let the soup simmer--separating the fish as it thaws--for about 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
• Sprinkle with parsley.
