Asian Glazed Black Drum

Black drum 5-7 oz filets, 4 each
1 cup Jay D’s Asian BBQ Sauce (see recipe)
1 lb squash, sliced

Red onion, julienned 1 each

½ lb Shiitake mushrooms, sliced

½ cup Cilantro, chopped

2 tbsp Sesame oil

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

2 tsp Jay D’s Sweet and Spicy BBQ Rub (Red Stick Spice Co.)

Preheat a non-stick skillet on medium high heat. Season each filet with ½ tsp of Jay D's Sweet & Spicy BBQ Rub. Place filet in the skillet and sear for 2 to 3 minutes until the fish is ⅔ of the way cooked. Flip fish and finish cooking. Remove fish from skillet and return pan to stove. Place sesame oil in the skillet, and once it starts to smoke, add red onions and squash. Don’t move vegetables for 1 to 2 minutes to allow them to brown. Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté them for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Plate vegetables with fish filets on top and finish with Asian BBQ sauce and chopped cilantro.
