Grilled Redfish Sandwiches with Seafood Remoulade Sauce

Ingredients

6 6-7 ounce Redfish Filets

1/4 cup No-Stick Grilling Marinade for Seafood (page xxx)

1 1/2 tsp Creole Seasoning

6 Hamburger Buns

1/4 cup olive oil

1 Recipe Seafood Remoulade

1 1/2 cup Green Leaf Lettuce, shredded

10-12 slices Fresh tomato

1 Recipe Tobacco Onions-

Instructions

Brush the fish filets with the no-stick grilling marinade and let sit for one hour. Sprinkle the filets with the Creole Seasoning and grill over direct high heat until the center of the fish is slightly pink, about 6-8 minutes. Turn the filets once during cooking. Do not overcook.

Brush the inside surfaces of the hamburger buns with the olive oil. Grill over medium direct heat for 2-3 minutes.

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a small amount of the Seafood Remoulade the toasted surfaces of the hamburger bun. Place tobacco onions on the bottom bun, enough to cover the surface, then top with the fish, tomato, lettuce and the top half of the bun.

Serve immediately.

Yield: 6 sandwiches

Raw red onion, thinly sliced may be substituted for tobacco onions. Red snapper or grouper may be substituted for redfish.

Adding butternut squash wasn’t a part of the original recipe. Though its natural sweetness balances the richness of the shrimp and the cream.
