Blackened Halibut w/ Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Yum. Yum. Yum. I'm pretty sure blackened is one of if not the best way to cook fish.  Picked up some Alaskan Halibut from Keegan's on my way home from work, threw some blackened seasoning on it, and had Brian throw it on the grill.  Doesn't get much easier than that! Serve with a salad and some haricot vert for a low carb meal!

Ingredients:

• 4-6 oz Halibut filet per person
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Your favorite blackened seasoning ( I used Zatterain's)

Sauce:

• 1/3 cup roasted red peppers (jarred works well for the consistency)
• 1 tsp garlic paste (you can use 1 garlic clove instead....just mash it up)
• 1-2 TBSP of reduced fat mayo
• 1 TBSP reduced fat sour cream
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
• Dash cayenne pepper
• Salt and Pepper to taste 

Directions:

• Chop the roasted red bell peppers finely. 

• In a bowl combine the garlic, peppers, and liquid from the peppers. Stir together and mash the mixture with a fork or back of a spoon.

• Add mayo and sour cream and keep mashing and stirring.

• Add seasonings and stir vigorously until there are no lumps from the mayo and sour cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

• Turn on the grill, rub the fish with the olive oil and coat with the blackened seasoning.

• Grill 5 mins per side. Careful when flipping the fish.

• Warm up the sauce from the refrigerator, squeeze lemon juice over the fish, and serve with a dollop of the sauce on top.
