Season, bake, put a couple pats of butter on each, finish under the broiler.

Pretty much a standard for those who do it this way.

Melt butter, add some finely minced garlic, and let that slowly simmer in the pot. I also like to add a little finely chopped green onion, some parsley, Worcestershire sauce and fresh squeezed lemon juice to the pot near the end.

Put the fish on the grill scale side down and brush on the mixture as it cooks. How much you will need to make depends on how many and how large the filets are.

Prick the fish in the thickest parts with a fork to make sure it is cooked all the way through and enjoy.

Chopped onions, garlic, sprinkled with some tonys. As it cooks drizzle a little wishbone Italian every now and then.

Yeah. Pretty much the same. I sprinkle some blackened redfish seasoning on before.

Fire up the grill. Score each slab deeply, about every inch and a half.

Season with your fav Cajun/creole spice.

Baste with butter and lemon...don't overcook.

I rub them with a little evoo, salt, pepper, throw them on a hot grill, and spoon some pesto over them when they are almost done.

Pick the seasoning and/or herbs that you like. I season, brush with melted butter or season the melted butter (which is what I do) and brush with that. Unlike the rest of the free world, I put them on the grill flesh down for just a minute or so to get some flame on that side, initially. You can't leave them on the flesh side very long, though. Then, I turn them over, brush generously with the seasoned butter again and complete the cooking.

Pesto is so good on Redfish. Had this last weekend...though it was listed as a salsa verde, which I guess is a pesto minus the pine nuts...not really sure.

Salsa Verde or Chimichurri works well too.

I was wondering about trying something like that with PPs blackened red fish seasoning. I thought sear it hard in a pan of butter flesh side down first then finish off in the oven or grill.

Pesto on red fish...not something I would have thought of trying but I like both. May one day....

When I see this, I take it to mean put it under the broiler of your oven, which is the highest heat setting to let the food get a bit of sear on top and brown off a bit. It is exposed to intense heat that is very close to the dish cooking.

But then why have it on the half shell then?

I'm with you. I don't think the reply was really relevant to the OP's intent. The only time I do the half shell thing is on the grill so it doesn't stick and fall apart and is the ideal way to cook a heavy scaled fish in my opinion.

There is a layer of fat between the scales and meat. Keeping the “shell” on preserves that moisture and flavor.
