To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 redfish fillets
- 1/2 cup of butter
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups of chicken broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice for serving
To start, season the redfish fillets with Cajun seasoning, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted and hot, add the seasoned redfish fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until blackened. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the roux turns a dark brown color. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add the blackened redfish fillets to the skillet and spoon the etouffee sauce over the top.
Serve the Blackened Redfish Etouffee Delight over cooked rice and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions.
This dish is a perfect combination of spicy and creamy flavors that will leave your taste buds wanting more. The blackened redfish adds a smoky flavor to the dish, while the etouffee sauce provides a rich and creamy texture. The vegetables add a nice crunch to the dish, making it a well-rounded meal.
