Fresh Friday Night Fish

All of a sudden - grilling outside requires lighting. Better than an umbrella I suppose, but I didn't get enough summer this year, did you?

Grilled swordfish with grilled asparagus, hollandaise sauce, and roasted D'Amico Farms red potatoes.

Marinate swordfish in olive or canola oil, cider vinegar and onion powder.

Coat the asparagus in olive oil and shallot salt.

Coat the potatoes in olive oil and shallot salt. Get these into a 450° F oven before you start the grill. The potatoes need a good long roast. An hour or even a little more makes for a crispy skin and a tasty, fluffy potato. Everyone agreed that these potatoes were particularly flavorful. We credit D'Amico Farms with growing the best local potatoes.




The fish and the asparagus only need ten or fifteen minutes on a hot grill.

Hollandaise. Nothing quite like a hollandaise to top your asparagus...or is there?

This is how Alton Brown makes Hollandaise:

Ingredients

* 3 egg yolks
* 1 teapsoon water
* 1/4 teaspoon sugar
* 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
* 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
* 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

Pour 1-inch of water into a large saucepan; over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low.

Place egg yolks and 1 teaspoon water in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until mixture lightens in color, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sugar and whisk for another 30 seconds.

Place the mixture over the simmering water and whisk constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, or until there is a clear line that is drawn in the mixture when you pull your whisk through, or the mixture coats the back of a spoon.

Remove the bowl from over the pan and gradually add the butter, 1 piece at a time, and whisk until all of the butter is incorporated. Place the bowl back over the simmering water occasionally so that it will be warm enough the melt the butter. Add the salt, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Serve immediately or hold in a thermos to keep warm.

Knorr...no eggs so it is not really Hollandaise, but if you want no eggs...it is Hollandaise with no eggs.
