Redfish on the Half Shell

Ingredients

6 Redfish fillets, skin-on, scales on (8-10 oz. each)
1 /2 cup Olive Oil
1 1 /2 Tbsp Creole Seasoning
2 Tbsp Parsley, chopped
6 Lemon wedges

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Rub the redfish fillets with oil, and season the flesh of the fillet with Creole seasoning. Place fillets, skin-side down, on a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. Grill the fish, never turning. Do not worry- the skin and scales will char, flame up, and smoke. Grill fillets approximately six minutes. Place fillets, skin side down, on a baking sheet and continue cooking in the oven for another five minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle parsley over fish and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Yield: six.

A Quiche for David

Quiche is French in origin, so this recipe is probably an abomination to some. My friend David Trigiani is a dual-citizen Italian is always taking a stand in the French food versus Italian food debate. Heavy whipping cream is a must, and never buy pre-shredded mozzarella. Grate your own. The same goes for parmesan cheese. Never, I repeat never buy that powdery substance in the green can. Invest in a good grater and you'll be a better cook for it. David lives in Jackson, Mississippi, but spends most of his holidays in Italy. He’s an excellent cook, though I have never eaten quiche in his home. Maybe this will inspire him, and I’ll get an invitation.

Orange Crepes with Sugared Cranberries

I prefer fruit over chocolate after a meal. Orange and cranberries are a perfect pairing, especially during the holidays. This is an excellent and easy dessert after a heavy meal. These can be served individually on small plates or in a casserole for a buffet.
