Blackened Redfish

Parmesan Mushroom Risotto

Sautéed Spinach

Tarragon Cream Sauce

Fried Okra

Method

Blackened Redfish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Redfish

    Pat the redfish fillets dry with paper towels. Rub Cajun seasoning on both sides of the fillets.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Redfish

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned redfish fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges.

Parmesan Mushroom Risotto

  1. 3

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over low heat to keep warm.

  2. 4

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 5

    Cook the Risotto

    Add Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat with butter. Gradually add warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Continue adding broth until the rice is tender and creamy, about 18-20 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Mushrooms and Cheese

    Stir in the sliced mushrooms halfway through cooking. Once the rice is done, remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Sautéed Spinach

  1. 7

    Sauté Garlic

    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 8

    Cook Spinach

    Add fresh spinach to the pan and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Tarragon Cream Sauce

  1. 9

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, minced garlic, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  2. 10

    Add Tarragon

    Stir in chopped tarragon and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Fried Okra

  1. 11

    Prepare the Okra

    In a bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, and salt. Dip sliced okra in beaten egg, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture.

  2. 12

    Fry the Okra

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded okra in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
