DINNER AT HOME

Wow....this was delicious.  So blessed to live in Hawaii where we have an abundance of fresh fish.

This Opah was amazing.  Grilled and served with a sauce made with garlic, shallots, white wine, chicken stock, capers, lemon juice and butter.  Better than any restaurant in Hawaii!

DINNER AT HOME

When I saw super fresh Opah (Moonfish) at the supermarket for about $8 per pound I had to grab a few pieces for dinner.  The bright red flesh looked like sashimi grade quality and I knew this had to be good.  We walked over to the produce department and I saw that mushrooms were on sale so I grabbed a bag.  Came up with a sauce that I used previously with Opah and it was delicious.  So delicious that after about two bites of this dinner my Daughter said that this "is now her favorite dish".  I would have to agree, the flavor of the fish and sauce were perfect together and this was a restaurant quality meal at a fraction of the price.  Opah or Moonfish is a firm white fish with a mild flavor.  If you can come up with a nice sauce this is a fish that the entire family will enjoy.

DINNER AT HOME

Blessed to live in Hawaii and enjoy the abundance of fresh fish from our warm waters.  Opah or Moonfish is popular in Hawaii restaurants and in fact was the featured fish at D.K. Steakhouse last night where we had dinner.  I cooked up this Opah at home and enjoyed it with some Garlic Mashed Potatoes and sautéed fresh vegetables.  Opah is a firm and meaty fish that you do not want to overcook.  The fish is mild in flavor so a butter or creme sauce is recommended.  I used the sauce from the vegetables and this dish was tasty.
