Served with Braised Purple Cabbage, Local Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes and Pan Au Jus

6 oz Lionfish filet

1 Yukon Gold potato, peeled and thinly sliced

1 sm. pkg. Mixed heirloom tomatoes

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Salt and pepper the lionfish filet and then shingle sliced potatoes to cover the entire filet. Next, pan sear potatoes in a saut? pan just long enough to get a crust to form, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Flip the fish over and place in the preheated oven to finish cooking (this should take roughly 7-8 minutes, depending on the size of the fish). Remove from pan and place on top of braised cabbage. Add the heirloom tomatoes to the already hot saut? pan, deglaze with white wine, and serve alongside of the fish with the au jus.
