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.

Orange and Bourbon Glazed Duck for Drew

My brother Drew and I were always wound up on Christmas Eve. He was four years older, but you’d never know it by how excited we both were. He’d be bouncing off the walls, too keyed up to sleep, while I’d follow his lead like I always did. When we finally did drift off, it wouldn’t be long before he’d shake me awake before dawn, eyes shining like he hadn’t slept a wink. Those early mornings felt like magic. Now, Christmas means he’s usually out duck hunting in the Delta, his favorite place on earth. He loves the hunt and the calm that comes with being out in the field before the sun rises. I thought of him when I put together this recipe. It’s a little bit of Drew—those wild December mornings in the Delta and the quiet way he’s always looked out for me.

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
