CRISPY FRIED RED FISH AND SPICY REMOULADE
Warmer weather is the cue for al fresco dining, but no patio brunch or park-side picnic compares with the highly anticipated, delicious and spirited barbeques amongst the Black community. Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, marks the emancipation of slaves in the United States in 1865, and today it is a time of celebration by families and communities often in the form of a fish fry or barbeque. The color red is significant in the celebration of Juneteenth as it symbolizes the suffering, perseverance and resilience of generations of African Americans. This recipe honors this tradition and history by utilizing a meaty and flakey red fish that pairs beautifully with a spicy remoulade.

Steps:
- For the spicy remoulade: Add the mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, parsley, chives, garlic, cayenne, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, sweet pickle juice, hot sauce and black pepper to taste to a medium mixing bowl.

Steps:
- Fill a Dutch oven halfway with oil and heat to 375 degrees F.
- Whisk the flour, cornmeal, seafood seasoning and sprinkle with salt and pepper in a small bowl and set aside. In another small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, Sriracha and egg and set aside.
- Place the shrimp into the buttermilk mixture, let the excess drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Place the shrimp onto a wire-racked baking sheet. Repeat until all shrimp are breaded.
- Fry the shrimp in batches, not overcrowding the oil, until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Place the shrimp onto a paper-towel-lined-plate. Repeat until all the shrimp are fried. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Spread both sides of the rolls heavily with the Horseradish Remoulade. Place the shrimp on top and then the tomatoes, lettuce and some onions. Eat away!
- Add the mayonnaise, capers, Sriracha, horseradish, lemon juice, relish, vinegar, mustard, shallots and sprinkle with salt and pepper in a food processor. Blend until slightly chunky. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
HORSERADISH REMOULADE
Yield makes about 1 1/2 cups
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, horseradish, scallions, dill pickles, sweet pickles, egg, parsley, capers, mustard, lemon juice, salt and black pepper, and cayenne in a blender or food processor and pulse to blend to a chunky sauce. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve, or for up to 4 days.
Tips:
- Use fresh fish: For the best results, use fresh whitefish fillets. If you can't find whitefish, you can substitute another mild-flavored fish, such as tilapia or cod.
- Make sure the fish is dry before cooking: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the crust to adhere to the fish.
- Use a light hand with the horseradish: The horseradish crust can be quite spicy, so be careful not to use too much. You can always add more horseradish to taste, but it's difficult to take it out once it's in.
- Don't overcook the fish: Whitefish is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center.
- Serve the fish immediately: Horseradish-crusted whitefish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The crust will start to soften if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Horseradish-crusted whitefish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The horseradish crust adds a bit of spice and flavor to the mild whitefish, and the remoulade sauce is a perfect complement. If you're looking for a new way to cook whitefish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
