Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Redfish filets “on the half shell” skin and scales on
  • 1 stick butter softened
  • 1.5 T Cajun Seasoning

Sandwich ingredients:

  • French rolls buttered and toasted if desired
  • Shredded Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Pickles I used Grillo’s
  • Tartar Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to high.
  • Soften a stick of butter in the microwave. Don’t melt it. Just enough that it retains it figure but can be mixed. Approximately 15-30 seconds in the microwave. Watch carefully.
  • Mix the Cajun seasoning with the butter in a small bowl.
  • Spread the butter mixture over the meat side of the fish.
  • Place the fish, skin side down on, the grill*. If you have a grill safe tray you can put your fish on that to keep the butter from dripping down and causing flare ups.
  • Close the grill and cook for around 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked thoroughly (white all the way through).
  • Remove from heat and set on a plate/tray.
  • Remove meat from the half shell. The meat should pull right from the skin easily.
  • You can keep the filets whole or pull them for more equal coverage on your sandwich.
  • Assemble your sandwiches. Enjoy!

Notes

*This only works for fish with bigger scales like a redfish, that will protect the meat from the flames.
