Bang Bang Rockfish Pasta

Loaded with flavour, it's the sauce that puts the “bang” in this Bang Bang recipe. Instead of using the traditional deep-fried shrimp, this recipe incorporates our Yellowtail Rockfish cooked in a skillet. 

Whether you cook it on the stovetop or on the grill, why not try this delicious, simple (and slightly healthier) version of this dish tonight!

Fish:

• 10 oz Yellowtail Rockfish - skin removed and cut into 2 cm cubes
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper

Bang Bang Sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, fat free
• 1/4 cup Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
• 2 tsp Sriracha sauce (makes mildly hot)
• 1/2 lime - squeezed

Garnish:

• Sliced green onions

3. Heat pot of water to boiling point, and cook pasta per package directions
4. Coat the cubed fish with olive oil and the seasoning listed, and mix well.

6. Add the Bang Bang sauce to the skillet, then add the cooked and drained pasta.

2. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds
