Pepper Jack's Mahi Melt
Well this idea came off the top of my head and it was my first time making it, but I'm fairly satisfied with how it turned out. So here we go.
POL^
1 Mahi Mahi Filet
Avocado slices
Onion Slices
2 slices Pepper jack cheese (fun fact: named after me)
1 slice Provolone cheese
Cajun blend of spices
Homemade tarter sauce
1 Lemon
A little butter (to coat the pan)
1 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
1 egg
1 cup water
I think I covered it all.
Now the last seven ingredients are a recipe commonly used here in the area to make hush puppies. That's going to be used to make a hush puppy bun!
I buttered a pan, put the filets in and covered them in a family recipe of ours for a Cajun blend of spices.
The fish (unfortunately bought frozen because we are land locked) go in the oven at 300 degrees for 15 minutes. Here they are once they came out:
Now while the fish were cooking I was busy pan frying the hush puppy buns. Totally forgot to take a picture during that process.. They didn't rise as much as I had hoped but they definitely tasted like hush puppies and had a texture like them too. They get slathered down with the homemade tartar sauce.
Now I put the filets on and layered the cheese on top. It got stuck back into the oven for just long enough to give it the melty gooey god like texture. Pulled it out and topped it with avocado onion and more Cajun powder. Here is the final result:
In hindsight I wish I had broken up the filets instead of only breaking them in half and putting them on whole. I would have liked the hush puppy buns to be thicker as well. All in all I'm happy. It tasted great!
