OVEN-BAKED GROUPER RECIPE - EASY CRISPY PANKO COATED FILLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and thyme and cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in panko and pepper and cook until the panko is golden brown, which should take about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Combine mayonnaise and lemon zest in a small bowl.
• Use a paper towel to pat dry the fish fillets and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Set a wire baking rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• Use a pastry brush and coat the tops and sides of the fish fillets evenly with a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture.
• Dredge the fillets in the panko breadcrumb mixture and make sure the top and sides are evenly coated. Do not coat the bottom.
• Place the fillet, panko side up, on the baking rack and repeat with the remaining fillets.
• Bake the fillets for about 30-35 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the fillet registers 140 degrees and the fish flakes easily when a fork is inserted.

CRAB CRUSTED GROUPER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, red pepper, yellow pepper, green onions, jalapeno, butter, crabmeat, and mozzarella cheese. Arrange grouper fillets in a single layer in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the crumb topping evenly over the fish.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork. If you have thin fillets, you may broil for 10 minutes instead of baking.

MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE BAKED GROUPER WITH TOMATOES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pat the fish dry and season with salt on both sides. In a small bowl, combine the spices (cumin, oregano, paprika, and black pepper), and season the fish with the spice mixture on both sides.
• Place seasoned fish in a lightly-oiled baking dish. Add minced garlic on top, then add lemon juice and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek EVOO). Arrange cherry tomatoes and olives on top of the fish fillets.
• Bake in heated oven for 12 to 13 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
• Remove from heat and add fresh dill (or your favorite herb). Enjoy!
