What can I put on top of grilled redfish (half shells).? I've seen some local chefs on TV make "salsa" but I can't find any recipes. TIA.

Any particular ratio or should I just put stuff together till it tastes right? should I put it on while the fish is still grilling or at the time of serving?

Buerre blanc with capers and lemon.

Nothing. Grilled redfish is good with nothing added, but I brush it with butter when grilling.

Agree that it's fine with nothing on it, but we eat redfish regularly and I'm just trying to break the routine.

You can do a butter sauce with whatever flavors you like...orange, ginger, herby...

You can make a mango salsa or other fruit salsa if want to go the salsa route.

Regular or flavored hollandaise sauces are good.

A pesto would also work.

Get one of Tory McPhail's new sauces that I referenced in my thread a little earlier.

No real ratios, I just cook some mushrooms in butter till they are almost done, deglaze with white wine, add more butter, some lemon juice , seasonings and green onions at the end

I like to do them under a little sweet baby rays from time to time. Just to change it up.

Mushrooms


Yuck. I just can't do mushrooms and fish. Contrasting textures and flavor that just doesn't work for me.

Get some claw meat. Or don't "top" it at all. Doesn't really need it.

Herbed, toasted breadcrumbs....it makes a nice textural contrast. Minced garlic, finely chopped fresh herbs (thyme, oregano, fennel, etc) sauteed in a little olive oil, then add some coarse breadcrumbs and continue to cook until the crumbs are browned. Sprinkle atop the cooked fish just before serving.

Sometimes I chop several bunches of green onions and pile them on top of the flesh side of the fish that's been coated in butter / EVOO. Then I press the flesh / onion side down into a hot greased skillet for a few minutes before placing it scale side down on the grill. Pile up any onions that fell off back on top. Very tasty.
