I've experimented with a few rockfish recipes and found this Brined Rock in Lime Cilantro-Butter to be the most delicious. The fish takes only 45 minutes to brine and total time is about an hour.
Fillet your rock fish and take the skin off. Prepare the brine: Let the fish sit in a cool bath of 1 level tablespoon of rock salt and the ends (that you don't use) of a fresh bunch of cilantro bunch. While you let the brine sit for 35 to 45 minutes prepare the lime butter:
take three tablespoons minced cilantro and mix it with three tablespoons melted butter and the juice of a small lime and mix it all together. Refrigerate it.
Rinse the rockfish and dry it completely. Heat 3 tablespoons of your favorite oil in pan. Heat it so when you put the fish in the pan, it sizzles. Immediately move the pan back and forth vigorously so that the fish does not stick. Cook for two minutes. Flip and do the same for the other side, or until done.
Put the cooked fish on a plate with about a level teaspoon of lime-cilantro-butter on the cooked fillet.
Yum.
