GRILLED OPAH (MOONFISH)

GRILLED OPAH (MOONFISH)

DINNER AT HOME

Blessed to live in Hawaii and enjoy the abundance of fresh fish from our warm waters.  Opah or Moonfish is popular in Hawaii restaurants and in fact was the featured fish at D.K. Steakhouse last night where we had dinner.  I cooked up this Opah at home and enjoyed it with some Garlic Mashed Potatoes and sautéed fresh vegetables.  Opah is a firm and meaty fish that you do not want to overcook.  The fish is mild in flavor so a butter or creme sauce is recommended.  I used the sauce from the vegetables and this dish was tasty.
