Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup dry sherry
5 cups fish stock or shrimp stock
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with their juices
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 redfish or trout fillets (each about 6 ounces), cut in 1/2 on the diagonal
2 tablespoons olive oil as needed
2 teaspoons Emeril's Original Essence, or other Creole seasoning
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups cooked long-grain white rice, for servings
Chopped fresh parsley leaves or green onion for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the 1/2 cup of the oil in a Dutch oven or large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the flour, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly with a large wooden spoon, to make a roux the color of peanut butter, about 15 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers, and celery, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the garlic and bay leaves, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Place the tomato paste in a small bowl and whisk in the sherry to blend. Add to the pot, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the stock, whisking to blend. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring, occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low then whisk in the butter, bit by bit, until incorporated. Remove from the heat, taste, and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Preheat a grill to medium. To grill the fish, brush the fish all over with the olive oil and season the fish with the Essence. Grill the fish, basting occasionally with additional olive oil for about 8 minutes. Turn the fish and grill briefly on the second side. Return the court bouillon to the heat, add the fish, and simmer until just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes longer. To serve, spoon 1/2 cup of rice into the center of six large soup bowls and divide the red fish court bouillon equally among them. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley or green onion.

LOUISIANA COURT-BOUILLON (OR CAJUN COURT BOUILLON)



Louisiana Court-Bouillon (Or Cajun Court Bouillon) image

Fish stews are common around the Gulf Coast, but a court-bouillon (pronounced coo-bee-on) is special. I recall my dad spending the better part of a Saturday brewing up a batch of this classy elixir. This is a variation of a Nola Cuisine recipe based on catfish.

Whisk in the butter, bit by bit, until incorporated. Remove from the heat, taste, and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Preheat a grill to medium. To grill the fish, brush the fish all over with the olive oil and season the fish with the Essence. Grill the fish, basting occasionally with additional olive oil for about 8 minutes.

To serve, spoon 1/2 cup of rice into the center of six large soup bowls and divide the red fish court-bouillon equally among them. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley or green onion.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, sustainable redfish. This will ensure that your dish has the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the redfish. Redfish is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
  • Use a flavorful court bouillon. The court bouillon is the liquid in which the redfish is cooked. It should be flavorful and aromatic, with a balance of herbs, spices, and vegetables.
  • Serve the redfish immediately. Redfish is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

Creole redfish court bouillon is a classic Louisiana dish that is both flavorful and easy to make. It is a perfect dish for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, Creole redfish court bouillon is sure to impress your guests.
