GROUPER WITH LEMON-BASIL CREAM SAUCE

• 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.

CHEF JOHN'S BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Place wine, lemon juice, cream, shallots, and cream in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and let simmer until liquid is reduced by about 75%, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and whisk in about 2 cubes of butter. Keep butter moving until it melts. When melted, add a few more cubes, whisking continuously so butter emulsifies into the wine/lemon juice mixture.
• Continue to add butter, a few cubes at a time until all of it has been incorporated and the sauce has a thick, luxurious texture, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Taste for seasonings and add a pinch of salt and cayenne, if desired. Serve immediately.

GROUPER WITH MEYER LEMON BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• To make the beurre blanc: Combine the shallots, wine, and vinegar in a skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Pour off liquid, leaving shallots in pan. Whisk in butter one piece at a time, until sauce is thick and emusified (move pan on and off the heat to keep it warm, but not hot). Cover, and keep warm.
• To cook the fish: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season fish with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, tapping off excess. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add fish, skin-side down, and cook for 2 minutes. Turn, and transfer to the oven until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately drizzled with sauce.

BLACKENED GROUPER LINGUINE

Steps:

• For the linguine: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add the oil and a dash of salt. Add the linguine and cook until al dente (slightly firm to the bite), 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.
• For the beurre blanc: Put the cream, lemon juice, vinegar and shallots in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce by about half. Whip in the butter until smooth. Strain the sauce to remove the shallots. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• For the grouper: Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sprinkle Cajun seasoning over one side of the grouper (the serving side). Cook until well seared and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, haricots verts and minced garlic and cook briefly. Add the linguine and toss in 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of the beurre blanc sauce.
• To assemble, arrange the linguine in the center of a plate and place the grouper fillet on top. Sprinkle on the shredded Parmesan and garnish with a lemon wedge.

FLORIDA GROUPER WITH CUCUMBER SLAW AND KEY LIME BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the slaw: Toss together the cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, rice vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the key lime butter sauce: Bring the wine, shallots and bay leaves to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Once boiling, add the heavy cream and lime zest and juice. Bring back to a boil and cook until reduced by half. Mix the cornstarch and water together and slowly whisk into the reduced cream.
• Once the mixture thickens turn the heat to low and add the butter a little at a time, whisking each time until fully incorporated. Run through a fine strainer and keep warm until serving.
• For the grouper: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke. Season the grouper filets with salt and pepper, put in the skillet top-side down and cook until the flesh begins to crisp, about 2 minutes. Do not flip; transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the grouper flakes easily, 5 to 6 minutes.
• To serve, spoon some Key Lime Butter Sauce on each of 4 plates and top with a grouper filet browned-side up. Top each filet with some Cucumber Slaw and serve.

Steps:

• Grouper: Begin by cutting the grouper fillets into four equal portions. Combine seasoned flour ingredients and put on a plate. Whisk together beaten eggs and heavy cream in a shallow bowl.
