OPAKAPAKA WITH HAWAIIAN BUTTER SAUCE
DINNER AT HOME
When I saw fresh pink Hawaiian Opakapaka at Costco I just had to buy some for dinner. I did an internet search for recipes because I know you need a good sauce with this mild fish. I found a good one posted by Chef James Temple. James put together a simple and fast sauce that adds loads of flavor to the fish. The sauce was delicious. The Sriracha Sauce and the Fish Sauce add just a little heat and a delicious depth of flavor that made this a family favorite. Will use this sauce again on other fish and maybe some chicken and shrimp.

Made this recipe, bought my fish from Costco too! I broiled the fish instead of grilling it, halved the fish sauce and added a little more siracha. Loved it thanks for the recipe!
