Freshly caught and flash frozen Alaskan Rockfish on a bed of potatoes topped with a lemon and tomato slices, drizzled with white wine, wrapped in foil and grilled to perfection.
Sue of Palatable Pastime is hosting and asked us to "Post a recipe for seafood foil packets. Any type seafood (fish, shellfish, etc.) On the grill or however you like to do it. Seafood by itself or perhaps with vegetables or however you like it. Let your creativity flow!"
Let's see what everyone is sharing......
I had never even heard of Rockfish before but Steve told me that it was a meaty, tender, whitefish. The fillets looked lovely so I knew I wanted to let the fish be the star of the meal. When Sue announced this event, I remembered those Rockfish Fillets in my freezer.-
I sliced potatoes very thinly with my mandolin so that they would cook at the same time as the fish. Should you not be able to slice them thinly enough, just give them a quick boil or zap in the microwave and partially cook before tossing with oil and seasonings and laying them onto the foil as a bed for the fish.
I somehow skipped sharing my Weekly Menu last week. Time got away from me but we did eat each day LOL. And we will eat each day this week as well. Here is my menu........
