Friend gave me a large filet without the skin and I need some suggestions for the best way to cook it. Preferably baked or stovetop, and I'm not really a fan of frying. Any help appreciated!

Redfish Bernice in either Riverroads One or Two. I'll try to locate. Actually it's snapper but a big redfish filet works well. Baked with tomatoes and served over rice. My mother has made it since the cookbook came out so vie had it all my life.

Or get some fresh dill, sliced lemons, Cavenders Greek seasoning, salt and pepper, season, lay lemons, dill and a few pats of butter on top and bake. Serve with a Greek yogurt, cucumber sauce.

You can bake and then break into pieces and make fish tacos.

Whatever you do, don't overcook the fish.

I have wanted to make John Besh's recipe for redfish RedFish Courtboullion ever since I bought his recipe book. I found this recipe online and it looks like the one in his book.

My husband occasionally brings back a redfish when he goes fishing for specs and I've been saving this recipe for the next one, so I can't verify the outcome.

Keep it simple. Blacken it and eat with some garlic cheese grits.

i did this a few years back. marinate in lemon butter sauce (freshly squeezed lemon juice and melted butter) for a short period of time. grilled it on low flipping every 2-3 minutes and reapplying the lemon butter sauce.

then made a crawfish cream sauce (no recipe, just made it up as i went along) to put on top.

Was the best fish I've ever had. Redfish is super delicious. I second this:

That's not really 'blackened'. Blackening is fast on high heat. High heat w the seasonings gives it the blackened color.

But yeah, i love blackened redfish.

When he responded to the poster who said to blacken it and keep it simple.

What don't you get about that?

So because he posted after the guy that said to blacken it this statement is saying that they blackend it too? Huh?

Well he replied TO him. And said "Keep it simple" which is what the poster said.

It's okay to be wrong dude. I was...once.

More likely he hit reply after he read all the posts. You called the dude out saying what he posted wasnt blackend which just made no sense because he never implied as such. Pretty simple to understand.

lemon and butter is all that is needed. Heck, it is fantastic with just some lemon pepper.
