Mediterranean Grouper With Lemon Caper Wine Sauce Recipes

GROUPER WITH LEMON WHITE SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix flour, salt, pepper, and lemon pepper in bowl until well blended. Reserve 4 1/2 tablespoons of seasoned flour in a small bowl, and set aside. Rinse grouper fillets, and pat dry. Dredge grouper in the seasoned flour.
• Melt the clarified butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the grouper in the skillet and cook until lightly browned and the fish is easily flaked with a fork, 2 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet, and set aside. Drain any remaining clarified butter in the skillet, and wipe clean. Add the chilled butter and lemon juice to the skillet. Cook and stir until the butter is melted. Gradually whisk in the reserved seasoned flour; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Stir in the hot milk, whisking constantly until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes more. Serve sauce over the grouper.

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!

GROUPER WITH LEMON-BASIL CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Set oven control to broil. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place fish fillets on cookie sheet. Sprinkle both sides of fillets evenly with salt and 1 teaspoon of the pepper.
• Broil about 10 to 15 minutes until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Meanwhile, in large skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add garlic and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook and stir until garlic is fragrant. Add wine; heat to boiling over medium-low heat. Boil until sauce is reduced by half. Stir in whipping cream and basil. Simmer until thickened.
• To serve, place broiled grouper on individual plates. Top with cream sauce.

MEDITERRANEAN GROUPER WITH LEMON-CAPER WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Season fillets with salt and pepper.
• 2. Heat oil in a large skillet. When hot, add the fillets with the skin side down, and cook 3 to 5 minutes or until the bottom is nicely browned and a light golden tone.
• 3. Turn fillets over, and add 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 to 2 Tbsp lemon zest, capers, garlic and wine. Cover the pan (in case the pan sauce spatters), and cook 4 to 6 minutes or until fillets until done and the flesh is firm and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
• 4. Arrange fillets on 4 individual plates, and pour the lemon/caper wine pan sauce over each fillet. Garnish servings with chopped parsley and lemon wedge, and serve immediately.
