Lemon Grouper Recipe Guide

Let me show you how I make a delicious Lemon Grouper, a simple and flavorful dish that will make any dinner feel special. Grouper is a mild, white fish that works wonderfully with lemon and herbs. While this dish isn’t traditionally Italian, it embodies the fresh, bright flavors found in coastal regions of Italy, especially along the Amalfi Coast, where seafood is abundant.

What to Expect:

The grouper should be flaky and moist with a wonderful balance of citrus and herb flavors. The foil packet ensures that the fish stays tender and juicy throughout the cooking process.

Method:

1. Prepare the Grouper: Lay the grouper fillets on a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over each fillet, and season with Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for that bright citrus kick.
2. Wrap and Grill: Fold the foil into a packet, sealing the fillets inside. Preheat your grill to medium heat and place the packet on the grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is firm and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and let it sit for a minute before opening the packet.
3. Serve: Serve the fish with additional lemon wedges for extra zest.

Variations and Tips:

• Wine Pairing: A crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio pairs perfectly with the citrusy, herb-infused flavors of the grouper.
• Herb Variations: Try adding fresh parsley, thyme, or rosemary for a different herbal twist.
• For a richer flavor: You can add a dollop of butter over the fish before grilling.
• Cooking method: If you don’t have a grill, you can also bake the grouper in the oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, or pan-sear it in a skillet.
