Cajun Braaied / Barbequed Fish

My hubby got this recipe from his colleague, Robert, we tried it today and it was really good.  Yellow tail or angel fish works very well but you can try this the fish of your choice.

Fresh Fish (of your choice) - filleted and deboned
Olive Oil
Louisiana Cajun Spice
Butter
Garlic
Lemon Juice

Pour some olive oil on both sides of the fish and liberally sprinkle it with the Cajun spice. Let it marinade for 30 minutes.

Melt the butter and add garlic and lemon juice to taste.

Once braai (barbeque) is hot, place the fish skin side up for a few minutes before turning it skin side down for the remainder of the cooking time (approx. 10 minutes depending on fire heat and thickness of fish).  Baste the fish with the butter mixture after turning.

Enjoy!!
 

Baked Potato with Ranch Dressing Dish

I made this recipe as a side dish for my sons braai/party, gosh the guys just could not get enough.

Ingredients:

• 6 -8 medium potatoes cut into 2cm cubes 
• 1 bottle ranch dressing
• 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• 1 1/2 pkts crumbled, cooked bacon
• 2 tablespoon dried dill weed
• 2 medium onions, chopped and cooked
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a Large bowl mix all the ingredients except the cheese,  until the potatoes are completely covered with the sauce.

Transfer to a baking pan, spread out to a single layer,  cover with foil and bake between 55-75 minutes.

During the baking time, turn over the potatoes couple of time to insure even baking.

Remove the foil and set the oven to 400 degrees and bake for 15 minutes more.

Mix in the cheese and bake a few more minutes until you see some brown spots on the cheese.

For serving, garnish with scallions.
