Chef John's Oysters Rockefeller image

There's much debate over how many of America's greatest recipes got their name, but that's not an issue with Oysters Rockefeller. Thanks to the rich, money-colored butter sauce, this decadent creation's name pretty much wrote itself. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon over the top.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups rock salt, or more as needed
1 cup chopped watercress

1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

This recipe is the real deal! The Rockefeller sauce was rich and creamy, and the oysters were cooked perfectly. I used fresh spinach, which gave the dish a wonderful earthy flavor.
