An old recipe I got from my Grandmother for a classic New Orleans dish! Redfish, in a simple, delicious, almost creamy tomato style sauce! Simple and superb!!! For a thicker sauce, drain the stewed tomatoes, or cut back on the amount.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped

  • ½ cup chopped celery

  • 3 (16 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil

  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 4 pounds red snapper fillets

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mix together the olive oil and flour in a saucepan over medium heat to make a roux. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 15 minutes or until dark. This may take longer.

  2. Add the onion, garlic, and celery to the roux, and cook until softened. Stir in stewed tomatoes, and season with salt, pepper, thyme, basil, oregano and bay leaf. Mix until well blended and heated through. Lay fish fillets in the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the sauce over the fish.

  3. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish is easily pierced with a fork. While cooking, baste occasionally with the sauce. Remove bay leaf, and serve.
