A simple and flavorful dish that showcases the delicate taste of grouper.

Ingredients:

  • 2 grouper fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for dusting
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup capers, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

  1. Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Dredge the fillets in flour, shaking off any excess.

  3. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. Add the grouper fillets to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Remove the grouper fillets from the pan and set aside.

  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the capers, shallots, and white wine to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shallots are softened.

  7. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute more.

  8. Return the grouper fillets to the pan and spoon the sauce over them.

  9. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, marinate the grouper fillets in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.

  • Serve the grouper with a bed of rice or quinoa and steamed vegetables.

  • If you don’t have capers, you can substitute chopped olives.

Enjoy!
