Blackened Grouper with Tropical Fruit Salsa- May 21, 2010

My mom picked up some grouper from Captain Marden's in Wellesley today. I think I've mentioned before what a fantastic fish store this is. My husband blackened it with the usual red fish rub he uses. I made a very simple tropical fruit salsa to go on top (jalapeno, green pepper, pineapple, mango, tomato, cucumber, red onion, salt & a little vinegar) and we served everything over white rice.

Blackened Tilapia Sandwiches with Lime-Chive Sour Cream and Black Bean Salsa- April 29, 2010

If you like some spice, blackening is a good alternative to frying. Although usually its done with butter, but still better than fried! We use the Paul Prudhomme Seafood Magic. I picked up some delicious brioche rolls and my husband made a sour cream sauce to go on the sandwiches, which was perfect. A mayonnaise would also have worked well here. I did a black bean, pineapple, tomato and cilantro salsa that was actually more like a little side salad which complemented it well.
