Rosie Prepares Rockfish In A Rum Butter Sauce With A Fruit Salsa.

Hi, everybody.
Lori VanderKamp,
 of The VanderKamps of Michigan,
visited with the Hawthornes recently.

The Hawthornes are serving.

 We've had appetizers -  Shrimp Caprese.


We've had Caesar Salad and homemade croutons.

Now, I'm on to the main meal.
This involves rockfish in a rum butter sauce
with a fresh fruit salsa.

I love a refreshing fruit salsa to serve with seafood.

I'm going with seedless red grapes,

strawberries, and kiwi.

Simply slice and mix together.

I sliced my rockfish filet into three pieces.
Freshly ground salt and pepper.
 

Heat the skillet over medium high heat.

Add butter and oil -

butter for flavor, oil to increase the smoke point.

Sear filets until almost done.

Maybe a minute each side.

Add a good splash of rum and reduce a bit.

Then add butter, a pat at a time,

whisking into the pan juices,

until you have a nice emulsified sauce.

Spoon sauce over rockfish

and top with salsa.

Stay tuned for the scallops.
