My version of a restaurant favorite

Went eat at P.F.Chang's with Tammy and went shopping. The food was good and found a couple of cute shirts. It was SO hot. Only June 4 th and I can't believe its so hot already. We went make a lil groceries at HEB and then went to Spec's Liquor and bought out the store cause you can't buy liquor on Sunday's here in Houston. LOL..the place was packed !!
Came home and Danny had been working in the back yard all day and said he wanted something light for supper. I said great cause I want to go eat at 59 diner tomorrow morning. It is our FAVORITE place to go for Sunday breakfast. Being on the road so much, I realised we have not been in months !!
I decided to try and cook one of our favorite things we eat at Outback Steakhouse.
I took some Speckled Trout out the freezer. We have been catching fish for years and never eat it too much. We have had a few fish fry's but always give it away or hoard it in the freezer. Usually when we catch fish, we send them to our fish cleaner,John. He cleans,lables & seals them so they stay good forever. I put the pack in a bowl and run cold water, it thaws them out in just a few mins

I dried them off real good and then put some Paul Prudhomme Seafood Magic seasoning on them.

I put 1 TBS of unsalted butter in a pan and let get real hot. You want the pan hot so the fish does not stick whe you put it in the pan.

Let the fish cook over pretty high fire till the edges start to turn white and the fish looks wet on top. That means that the underside is cooking and pushing the moisture to the top.

Flip the fish and let cook a few more mins. Don't over cook or it will be dry and the fish will still cook once you tak it out of the pan.

I took the fish out and added another TBS of butter and a small shallot cut up fine. Let cook a few mins.

I added 3 TBS of white wine and let cook a few mins to get all the good drippings up off the bottom of the pan.

I added some can artichokes,sliced sun dried tomatoes,capers and 2 TBS lemon juice. Let cook to heat thru and put on top of the fish in the plate.

I had a little steamed broccoli with salt and pepper and a piece of toasted,buttered bread to eat with the fish.

Danny LOVED the fish. He kept moaning the whole time he was eating. He could not believe how good it was, he asked if I can cook fish like this, why haven't we been eating the fish we catch.LOL

Funniest thing was when I was in the kitchen cleaning up, he said from the living room

"we aint giving no more fish away"

My hubby said it was better than the one we eat at Outback !!!
