Blackened Redfish Courtbouillon Ingredients

Method

Blackened Redfish Courtbouillon Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Courtbouillon

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and celery, cooking until softened.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken stock, bay leaves, and cajun seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blacken the Fish

    While the sauce is simmering, coat the redfish fillets with blackening seasoning. Heat a separate skillet over high heat and add a bit of olive oil. Sear the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until blackened.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Place the blackened fish in the sauce and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
