Baked Sturgeon Fish Food

STURGEON WITH CAPER, OLIVE AND TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat saute pan over medium high heat (hot pan, cold oil, food won't stick) until just warm and add the olive oil. Let oil heat and place fillets in the pan. Let sides brown for 1 minute or 2, then add onion. Stir until onion starts to become translucent. Add garlic and rosemary. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until garlic just begins to brown. Flip fillets over to brown. Add olives and stir in. Then, add capers. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes, then, add white wine. Increase heat for a few minutes to reduce wine. Reduce heat to medium and add tomato sauce. Stir to combine all ingredients and let sit for a few minutes. Flip fillets so that both sides are coated with sauce. Fish is done when there is resistance to pressure. (Check also with your seafood market person about recommended cooking times for the fish.) Freshly ground pepper can be added during the cooking, but salting the dish isn't necessary since there is a lot of salt in the olives and capers. Serve with rice, pasta, or couscous. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary.

STURGEON "FISH FRY"

Steps:

• Cut your fish into desired pieces, and soak in milk for one hour. (In the refrigerator).
• Pat pieces dry and coat completely in Louisiana Fish Fry. Set aside.
• Heat your shortening to aprox. 375 degrees, and deep fry fish in batches. (Make sure they don't cook too fast) Always test your first piece to make sure they cook thorough. Remove and set on a platter of paper towels to drain.
• These keep warm for a few minutes, until you can serve them. Watch your pieces and cook them evenly. I always serve these with a high quality tartar sauce, or just make home-made.
