Pan-Seared Grouper with Lemon-Garlic Sauce

This is an impressive yet easy to prepare dinner.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 (8 ounce) grouper fillets
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons butter
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley

DIRECTIONS

  1. Season both sides of the grouper fillets with salt and pepper.
  2. To a large pan set on medium heat, add i tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
  3. When the oils have heated, add the grouper fillets (if skin intact, skin side down) to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. The fish is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 145℉ in its thickest part and when it flakes easily with a fork.
  4. To make the sauce, add remaining olive oil and butter to the same pan you cooked the fish.
  5. Add the garlic, lemon juice and parsley. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve the pan-seared grouper immediately with lemon-garlic sauce spooned on top.
