A flavorful fish dish inspired by the Bayou, combining spices and vegetables in a rich sauce.
Mix the salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Adjust the spice levels to your preference for a milder or spicier dish.
Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over both sides of the fish fillets. Let them rest for 30 minutes.
Allowing the fish to rest helps the flavors penetrate better.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to maintain its flavor.
Add the chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well. Gradually add 1/2 cup of water, stirring to combine.
Stir constantly to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Place the fish fillets on top of the vegetable mixture. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.
Check the fish for doneness by flaking it with a fork.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over cooked rice.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
