GRILLED HAWAIIAN OPAH WITH CANDIED LEMONS AND HERB SALAD
I really love opah because it rides the perfect line between steaky fish like swordfish and flakier fish like mackerel. It seemed like the perfect amount of metropolitan drama for Ben who loves every aspect of catching, cutting and preparing the fish he eats. I have done this with a large Spanish mackerel and a bluefish as well. The bitterness of the lemon rounds, melded with the natural sweetness of the saffron and honey really illuminates the otherwise mild flavor of this fish.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill or a grill pan over high heat.
- Combine the honey, saffron, pepper, kosher salt, lemons and 2 to 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Simmer gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally and adding more water or honey as needed, until the consistency thickens and the lemon slices start to break down, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the opah on both sides with sea salt and pepper and lightly coat with the olive oil. Make sure the grill surface is clean, and then grill the fish on one side on the hottest part of the grill about 5 minutes, rotating halfway through to create diamond grill marks after about 3 minutes. Flip the fish using a fish spatula and repeat on the opposite side, cooking until fish is medium-rare, almost medium, another 4 to 5 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish just before removing it from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Brush the tops of the fish with a hint of olive oil and then cover with the candied lemons, followed by the basil, dandelion greens, parsley and chives.

CRAB STUFFED FISH
I love this dish I got it off of the T.V years ago and I make it often. I normally use a whitefish of some sort. Tilapia or Flounder are my favorites. I usually serve with rice and steamed vegetable. It's filled with flavor and is pretty easy to make. I could eat the stuffing all by it's self. A lot of times I double the stuffing but it's up to you what you think.

SIMPLY SEARED OPAH
I couldn't find a simple recipe for opah (also known as moonfish) so I just seared it and it was so good. The flavor of the fish can stand on its own.

SEARED OPAH (MOONFISH) WITH VINE-RIPE TOMATO GARLIC BUTTER
It's my understanding that Opah isn't easy to come by, so I was thrilled when I found some. Then I discovered that there are not many recipes out on the internet, so recipes are also hard to come by. I found this one and we loved both the fish and the recipe. I also had to search for a recipe for the Tomato Concasse, so included it here for convenience. Just as a note, I didn't use nearly as much butter as the recipe calls for. From Chef Linda Yamada of the Beach House in Hawaii.

Steps:
- Make the Tomato Concasse: (The French word means to roughly chop).
- Remove the core of the tomato with the tip of a small knife.
- At the other end, lightly score (just break the skin) of the tomato by cutting an X.
- Plunge the tomatoes into a pot of rapidly boiling water for 10 seconds (blanch).
- Remove the tomatoes with a slotted spoon and place into a bowl of ice water or under cold running water to halt the cooking process (this process is called 'refreshing').
- The peel should now just slip off; if the tomatoes are not quite ripe, they may need to be blanched and refreshed again.
- Place the tomatoes on a cutting board with the core side down and cut in half.
- Remove the seeds with a teaspoon and discard.
- Roughly chop the tomatoes to the desired size.
- Gently cook the shallots and the tomatoes in butter without coloring them (this is called sweating) for 5 minutes and set aside until required.
- For the Fish:.
- Heat the saute pan on medium heat until hot.
- Add in oil; season both sides of fillets with salt and pepper.
- Sear on both sides until medium done, approximately 4 - 5 minutes total depending on thickness of fish.
- Remove from pan; add garlic; stir consistently.
- Add tomato concasse, lemon juice and white wine on medium heat; let reduce until most liquid is gone.
- On low heat, add in butter a little at a time.
- Remove from heat; add in chopped parsley and season.

CHESAPEAKE BAY STUFFED ROCKFISH
People along the Chesapeake can be tight-lipped with their crab imperial recipes. I coaxed this one out of a old waterman. Substitute sole or flounder when Pacific rockfish is not in season.
