Cast iron Lingcod

[CaseT]

We don't sear or fry fish very often. But last night I didn't want to fire up the bbq. So a simple salad and a simple high temp sear. I used coconut oil just to try and it worked out great. No coconut flavor really.

Here's the process:

Cut fish (whatever you like) into what ever serving size you want. Season both sides of the fish with salt, pepper and whatever else you want. I added garlic powder.

Allow fish to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Heat 1/4 cup of oil or butter in a medium hot cast iron skillet. I use coconut oil, but olive oil or veggie oil would work too. Once the oil has melted and spatters when water hit it, turn the heat up to high.

Add fish on piece at a time. NOTE: If your fish has the skin on put that side down first in the pan. When Fish is golden brown on the side that is down flip. Fish is done when opaque and golden brown.

Serve with whatever sides you like.

ENJOY!!!!

Great looking meal Case. Just cook up some pork fat that will take care of all that healthy eating you've been doing.

Thank you Chuck. I wish I could say that I caught the lingcod. My Sous Chef out fished me that day!

I asked him to hold up a fish and he picked the smallest one! The green tail sticking up out of the bucket is his lingcod!
