2-3 small chili cayenne peppers, thinly sliced
1-2 tsp. fresh ginger, chopped
3 – 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup assorted peppers, diced
5-6 pieces okra, thinly sliced
1 oz rum
1-1½ cups tomato sauce
3-4 stalks fresh thyme, lightly chopped
salt to taste
4
x 6-8 oz kingfish fillets, skin on
1 tbsp. oil
salt to taste
1 tbsp. King of the Q Bayou Bite Cajun Seasoning or your favorite
Cajun seasoning
½

1 green onion, thinly sliced
To prepare the Creole Sauce, in a saucepan add oil,
onion, carrot, celery and onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes
until just softened. Add chili peppers, ginger, garlic, peppers
and okra. Continue to sauté.
Preheat grill to medium high (about 500°F).
Drizzle the oil onto the kingfish fillets, brushing
the oil all over the fish. Season oiled fillets with salt and Cajun
seasoning, pressing the spices into the fish to adhere.
Place seasoned kingfish fillets onto the grill,
flesh side down and grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side until cooked
through. When the fish is ready to be turned it should pull away
easily from the grill.
While the fish grills, return to your Creole Sauce.
Add rum and flambé to deglaze the pan. Add the tomato sauce,
thyme and season to taste with salt. Bring to the boil, reduce heat
to low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
Squeeze the juice of half a lime over top the grilled
kingfish. Transfer grilled fish to a platter and top with Creole
Sauce garnished with green onion.
