Fish

Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Season the Redfish

    Pat the redfish fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot.

Shrimp Crust Mixture

  1. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a food processor, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, paprika, and beaten egg. Pulse until the mixture is well blended but still slightly chunky.

  2. 4

    Mix with Panko

    Transfer the shrimp mixture to a bowl and fold in the panko breadcrumbs until fully combined.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the Fish

    Place the seasoned redfish fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

  2. 6

    Add Shrimp Crust

    Once the fish is cooked, top each fillet generously with the shrimp crust mixture, pressing down gently to adhere.

  3. 7

    Finish Cooking

    Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the shrimp crust to cook through and become slightly crispy.

Prepare Sauce

  1. 8

    Mix Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Stir until well blended.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Remove the redfish from the skillet and place on serving plates. Drizzle with the prepared sauce before serving.

  2. 10

    Garnish

    Optional: Garnish with extra parsley or lemon wedges if desired.
