Buttered Corn Crusted Rock Fish W/ Mango Salsa, spanish rice, refried pinto beans. Mucho Yum!

When fresh caught rock fish is at the market, it is so tasty and economical. The filet with no bones can be seasoned and breaded with corn meal, panko crumbs or crushed peanuts or almonds. I chose a smokey Mexican paprika and herb seasoning rubbed into the filet. Season with sea salt. Pat on the corn meal firmly. Heat sauté pan to medium high and place one tablespoon of butter and 4 tablespoons of oil. Place the filets and fry for 4 minutes on one side and another 4 on the other. Place on a oven proof platter and side with some spanish rice, and refried beans. For the mango salsa I chopped diced one firm tomato, half a green pepper, one thick slice of white or purple sweet onion, grated minced garlic clove, fine chop 1/4 of a jalapeno pepper, half a mango with some fresh chopped cilantro. Add a splash of olive oil and red wine vinegar. Salt and pepper. Now add the juice of one lime. Mix and stir.

My Haddock Filet Street Taco with Pico and Slaw. Start the party with a nice Ceviche Appetizer and a favourite of mine is Chili Relleno.  Mucho yummy!
