1 cup mayonnaise or reduced fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 dill or half-sour pickle, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
10 blades fresh chives, chopped or 2 thin scallions thinly sliced
1/2 lemon, juiced
Few drops cayenne pepper sauce
4 crusty rolls, split
1 large ripe tomato, sliced
4 leaves green leaf or Boston lettuce
Asparagus Salad, recipe follows
1 bag gourmet chips, preferred brand Terra chips in Yukon Gold Onion and Garlic flavor
Tartar sauce:
1 small shallot or 1/2 large shallot, finely chopped
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
1 pound asparagus, thin spears
2 endive, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 small red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 pound bow tie pasta, farfalle, cooked to al dente and cooled
1/2 cup frozen green peas
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron grill pan over medium high heat. Drizzle halibut pieces with oil, then season with crab boil seasoning, salt and pepper. Grill on a hot pan 4 or 5 minutes on each side.
  • Place melted butter in a small dish and add juice of 1/2 lemon.
  • Combine all ingredients for the tartar sauce in a small bowl.
  • Lightly toast buns on grill pan after fish is removed.
  • To assemble, brush bun bottoms and fish with lemon butter. Top fish with tomato and lettuce and slather the bun tops with tartar sauce, then serve. Serve with Asparagus salad and fancy chips.
  • Heat shallot and oil in microwave safe covered dish for 30 seconds or in a small pan on the stovetop over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Allow oil to cool back to room temperature.
  • Hold a spear of asparagus at each end and snap it. The spear breaks where the tender tops meet the tough bottoms. Line the broken spear up with the bundle of cleaned asparagus. Cut the spears using the guideline of the snapped spear. Par boil the asparagus tops in 1 inch simmering water covered for 3 to 5 minutes. Cool under cold running water and drain. Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces on an angle and add to a bowl. Combine chopped, cooked asparagus with shredded endive, red bell pepper, cooked pasta, green peas and chopped parsley. The peas will defrost as you toss salad. Pour vinegar into a small bowl and whisk in cooled shallot oil. Pour dressing over salad and toss. Season salad with salt and pepper, to your taste and toss again.

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 to 3 sheets of puff pastry
1/2 pound Mozzarella cheese
1/2 pound Cheddar cheese
1 pound broccoli spears
1 pound thinly sliced boiled ham
1 pound thinly sliced roast beef
2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 pound pepperoni
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the puff pastry into desired shapes, (making sure you have two pieces that are alike to build the sandwich) Using a box grater, grate each cheese. Slice the broccoli into thin slices. Place what ever type of filling you wish in the center of one piece of puff pastry, like ham and cheese, or tomato sauce, pepperoni and cheese or broccoli and cheese (fill each pocket with a good amount of the filling). Place the other piece of puff pastry on top of the filling. Using your hands, lightly press the pastry around the filling. Using a fork, press the ends of the pastry together. This will seal the pockets tightly. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and water together. Place the pockets on parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush each pocket. Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For the freshest amberjack, try to buy it directly from a fisherman or fish market. If you can't find fresh amberjack, frozen amberjack steaks will also work.
  • To ensure the amberjack is cooked evenly, make sure the grill is hot before adding the fish. You should also cook the fish over direct heat for a few minutes per side before moving it to indirect heat to finish cooking.
  • To make the spicy tartar sauce, be sure to use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste.
  • If you don't have time to make the spicy tartar sauce, you can use store-bought tartar sauce instead.
  • Serve the grilled amberjack sandwiches on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and onion.
