Rockfish with Cajun Garlic Butter Sauce #SundayFunday

This tender flaky white fish is made even more delicious with the addition of tomatoes and onions cooked in Cajun Garlic Butter Sauce.

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing recipes that use homemade sauces today.......

Amy of  Amy's Cooking Adventures is hosting this week and asked us to share homemade sauces.  She further stated that she was looking for sauces that should be added to food rather than eaten alone.  

Let's see what everyone created to share.......

This recipe is actually 3 recipes combined into one delicious dish.  The Cajun butter starts with homemade Cajun seasoning.  You will have more seasoning than you need but it stores well and can be used for many things, including the seasoning for the sweet potato fries that I served with this fish.

The seasoning is used to flavor the butter to which you add garlic, onions and tomatoes before dressing  the rockfish to go into the oven.

The results are delicious.  This sauce can be use on any mild white fish but I am lucky enough to be the recipient of Alaskan Rockfish, caught by a friend and flash frozen for shipment home.  He caught a LOT of Rockfish and MahiMahi and he generously gifted some of it to me.
