Chesapeake Rockfish with Sweet Potato Mash
Do you dream about our Lemon Garlic dressing? I personally pour it on just about everything, but it's hard to top this flavor combo of rockfish with the lemon and crab spices.
What you need
¼ cup Tessemae's Lemon Garlic
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (we like Old Bay)
4 rockfish filets (about 6 ounces each)
4 small to medium sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons high quality butter
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
¼ cup pecans
What to do
Heat your oven to 425. In a baking dish, pour the Lemon Garlic and sprinkle the seafood seasoning over the rockfish. Let marinate at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to one day refrigerated.
Rinse and dry the sweet potatoes. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Roast until tender, about 45 minutes depending on the size. Cut the potatoes in half and scoop the hot flesh into a bowl. Mash with the butter and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high. Add the rockfish and sear until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the oven and roast until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Serve the rockfish over the sweet potatoes with pecans and plenty more Lemon Garlic.
