Blackened Rockfish

Mango Aioli

Roasted Tomato Infused Rice

Asparagus

Method

Blackened Rockfish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rockfish

    Rinse the rockfish fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    In a small bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the rockfish fillets.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fish

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned rockfish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is blackened and cooked through.

Mango Salsa

  1. 4

    Mix the Salsa

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir gently until well mixed. Set aside.

Mango Aioli

  1. 5

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mango puree, minced garlic, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust salt to taste.

Roasted Tomato Infused Rice

  1. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the rice and toast for 1-2 minutes. Then, add tomato puree, vegetable broth, and salt. Bring to a boil.

  2. 7

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Asparagus

  1. 8

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil and salt in a bowl.

  2. 9

    Roast the Asparagus

    Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
