Ingredients
For the Rockfish:
- 1.5 lbs of Rockfish
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
For the Relish:
- 1/2 cup of bell pepper (I used an orange one), minced
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 1 cup of grilled corn
- 1/2 cup peaches, skinned and diced
- 1/2 tsp ground ancho chile
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the Purée:
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 2 Tbsp salted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp chives, chopped
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
Instructions
For the Rockfish:
- Rinse the rockfish, remove bones and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle liberally with kosher salt.
- Put the all-purpose flour on a plate and lightly dredge the fish through it.
- Place the fish in batches in a nonstick skillet with a dollop of butter and cook on medium-high heat for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until the coating is browned.
For the Relish:
- Begin by removing the husk from your corn cob and wrapping the cob in aluminum foil with a little butter and salt.
- Place the foil wrapped cob on the BBQ and grill it for approximately 15 minutes until the corn is tender.
- Next mince you onions and bell pepper and begin to saute them with a little butter until the onions have turned translucent.
- After the corn has finished cooking and you have set it aside to cool, place the cob vertically over a cutting board and slice the corn off of the cob.
- Add the corn to the skillet with onions and the peppers and then finally add the finely diced peach.
- Sprinkle with salt and ground ancho chile and stir until the relish is well mixed.
For the Purée:
- Begin by chopping up your head of cauliflower and adding it to a pot of salted boiling water.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until all the pieces are tender.
- When the cauliflower is cooked add it to a food processor with the butter, cream, salt, white pepper and chives.
- Gently blend on low power until the purée is smooth and creamy.
