We decided to blacken the filets and put over a bed of linguine.

So we take the filets, rub a mixture of sugar, salt, paprika, cumin, cayenne, and whatever else sounded good, all over one side.

Place in some hot oil, and carefully apply the rub to the other side. After only a min or two, we flip.

Then with some fresh ingredients, we whip up a nice lively bed for the fish. I like to cook garlic,spinach, and tomatoes in a couple cap-fulls of white wine.

After mixing into the pasta, we place some on a plate, and put our fish over the top.

The fish was fantastic. It was very flakey and tender, almost like a grouper, but maybe even nicer and more flakey.

Happy 2017 from the Play Gourmets!
