Pistachio Crusted Redfish over Fire Roasted Asparagus

with Strawberry Beurre Blanc

RECIPE NAME 

 

Method: 

Pistachio Breading

Process all ingredient in a food processor until fully blended.

May be made 1 day in advance.

Redfish, Asparagus and Strawberries

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Preheat grill to medium heat. In a small bowl whisk milk and egg to form an egg wash. Transfer to a shallow dish.

Mix Creole seasoning and flour and transfer to another shallow dish.

Place Pistachio Breading ingredients in a third shallow dish.

Season fish with salt and pepper and press each piece into the flour mixture, then the egg wash, then the Pistachio Breading mixture.

Place a piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush liberally with oil. Add breaded fish and bake until crust is golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Toss asparagus and strawberries in a bowl with salt, pepper, and olive oil and grill until hot, about 3 minutes for asparagus and 1 minute for strawberries.

Strawberry Beurre Blanc

Combine shallot, garlic, white wine and lemon juice in a saucepan set over high heat and reduce by half.

Add cream; when liquid bubbles reduce heat to low.

Add Strawberry Butter, one cube at a time, whisking first on heat, then off, until mixture is fully emulsified and has reached a rich, creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Store in a warm place (or Thermos) until ready to serve.

Strawberry Butter

Process all ingredients in a food processor until butter is smooth and well blended.

Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes or until firm.

May be made in advance and stored in freezer for up to  one month.

Presenation

For each plate cross two asparagus spears in the center of plate and top with baked fish.

Plate one strawberry half atop each piece of fish. Drizzle Strawberry Beurre Blanc around fish.

Serve.
