Redfish on the Half-Shell with Lemon-Butter Lump Crabmeat Sauce
- 4 redfish fillets, skin and scales remaining, fully boned
- Bronzing, seafood or Cajun seasoning
- Olive or any other cooking oil
- Margarine, softened
- Crabmeat Sauce, recipe follows
- Heat grill to medium-high.
- Place the fish fillets flesh side down on a tray.
- Liberally brush the scales with oil to keep from sticking to the grill.
- Turn over and generously coat the fillets with dry seasoning and brush with margarine.
- Cook scale-side down until the flesh at the thickest part of fillet flakes easily with a fork.
- Cover grill for even heat and faster cooking.
- Do not turn fillets over, cook on scale side only--the skin and scales will make a shell that will keep the fish moist during cooking.
- Remove fish from grill with a large spatula to avoid breaking fillets.
- Gently "scrape" meat from skin and put on plate.
- Top with crabmeat sauce.
- 1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for remaining shell pieces
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 2 small lemons, juiced
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons commercial bronzing, seafood or Cajun seasoning
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 4 tablespoons chopped green onion tops
- Melt butter in saucepan over low-medium heat.
- Add lemon juice, garlic, wine, hot sauce, and seasoning.
- Slowly simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Add the cream and simmer until well mixed.
- Gently stir in the crabmeat being careful not to break it up.
