Fish Friloux

This recipe is my all time favorite way to cook fish.  Its super easy, I almost always have all the ingredients on hand, and in my opinion that makes a great recipe.  Plus it is healthy and so very tasty.   This recipe come from a Cajun family friend and my mom has been cooking it for years.  Below is a Instant Message between Mom and I.  I was trying to get her to write the intro, and as you can guess she won………..

Sweet Pea: Tell me how you guys acquired the recipe, I will put that on the blog
Mom: family friend is good
Sweet Pea: did he teach you, bring it to a party, what happened
Mom: he fixed it for the whole family, i think at rock port i can’t remember.   yes he prepared while we visited and watched
Sweet Pea: ok, do me a favor
Mom: I’m sure alcohol was involved
Sweet Pea: write the intro for me,
Sweet Pea: even funnier
Mom: sorry you’ll have to put it together
Sweet Pea: nah, you do it, I will say that you wrote the first part
Sweet Pea: You have time, think it up, when you get a chance
Mom: let me ask dad if he remembers when he cooked it first
Sweet Pea: that’s fine, but I really want you to write it,
Sweet Pea: it will be fun!!
Mom: you are pesky
Sweet Pea: ha

Ingredients: Olive Oil, Butter, 1 onion, 3-4 filet’s fish (snapper is excellent), fajita seasoning, 3/4 cups picante sauce, and 1/2 cup Texas Antipasto, cooked rice.  Of course this recipe can be made without the Antipasto but I just love it.  Check out another recipe I have used it with, here

Start off with 2 T butter, 2 T Olive oil and add the chopped onion

Season each fillet with fajita seasoning, just eye ball it

Once the onions are slightly softened add the fillets and pour a generous amount of picante, and antipasti on each fillet.

After 3-4 minutes flip the fillet and add picante and antipasto to the other side

Cook another 3-4 minutes on medium heat until fish is thoroughly cooked.  Serve on a bed of rice.

Enjoy!
