My wife's picking up some plain white kind of fish tonight from a local restaurant that sells it fresh. Any recommendations? I have most of the Dizzy Pig rubs, so I thought about using one of those.[p]Thanks,
Mike

    Eggtuary,[p]I don't have experience with DP rubs, yet anyway. We like it with a roasted red pepper hazlenut sauce. I'll post recipe if you want.[p]

    <p />Eggtuary,
    I rather liked this one. The fish in the photo had a maple syrup/butter mixture drizzled over it with about 10 minutes to go.[p]TNW

    Eggtuary,
    ive made this casserole many times with pollock which is a very bland tasting fish. its only good if its fresh and cooked within a few hours of catching them.

    you can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it
  • Eggtuary,
    We did Cod last night. Mixed up 2 TB of regular Mayo with
    about 2 tsp of rub and coated the rinsed and dried fish.
    The fish was then covered with raw, chopped Pistachio nuts
    and put in the fridge for about 1 to 1.5 hrs. I fired up
    the cooker to about 350 deg. F and tossed a piece of
    Pistachio wood on the fire for a little smoke. The fish was
    placed on a hot, oiled cast iron griddle, cooked till brown
    on both sides then allowed to rest for a few minutes. It
    turned out moist, flakey and very tasty. Good stuff.

    QBabe,[p]OK, here you go. Enjoy. BTW, it's also good on burgers instead of mayo.[p]Roasted Red Pepper Hazelnut Sauce[p]
    Makes 1 1/2 cups[p]2 large red bell peppers, roasted, peeled, and seeded, or 1 1/2 cups drained bottled roasted red peppers
    1/4 cup hazelnuts, roasted and skinned
    2 cloves garlic, peeled
    2 tablespoons sherry vinegar (yes needs to be this)
    1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh rosemary
    1-tablespoon fresh marjoram or Italian oregano leaves
    1-teaspoon sugar
    1-teaspoon salt
    Scant 1/8-teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/2-cup extra-virgin olive oil[p]Process all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor or blender until the hazelnuts are finely ground.
    Stop the machine and scrape down the sides. With the machine running, pour in the olive oil in a steady stream.
    The sauce should have the consistency of thick salad dressing. Taste and add more salt or cayenne if desired.
    The sauce can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring it to room temperature before serving or warm the sauce gently by stirring it in a stainless-steel bowl set over simmering water. Don't overheat the sauce or the oil will separate.

    The Naked Whiz,
    Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't go out and buy the fancy Panko bread crumbs, but I got a delicious meal using the normal Progresso ones I had in my pantry.[p]I'm going to have to go back and try some of the other recipes people suggested. Many of them look delicious![p]Thanks again, everyone!
