Steamed Grouper Fillet Recipe 435

GROUPER STEAMED IN PARCHMENT WITH SOUR ORANGE SAUCE AND MARTINI RELISH

Steps:

• For the sour orange sauce: Put the orange juice in a small nonreactive saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat and cook until thickened and reduced to about 1/4 cup. Whisk in the honey and transfer to a bowl. Whisk in the lime juice, vinegar and season with salt and pepper and more honey if needed.
• For the relish: Combine the olives, peppers, shallots, jalapeno, oil, vinegar, parsley and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• For the grouper: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Sprinkle both fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Place 1 grouper fillet in the center of each piece of parchment paper. Top each fillet with 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon wine. Fold the edges together, and then tightly fold in the edges, crimping around all sides to seal the packets completely. Place the packets on a baking sheet or in a large oven-proof saute pan. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Place each packet on a dinner plate and let sit for 2 minutes. Then open the parchment and drizzle with some of the sour orange sauce and top with some of the martini relish. Garnish with parsley leaves.

PARCHMENT-STEAMED GROUPER WITH MARTINI RELISH, CRISPY HERBED COUSCOUS AND SOUR ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sour orange sauce: Bring the orange juice to a boil in a small nonreactive saucepan (nonstick is best) over high heat. Cook, whisking occasionally and skimming any foam that rises to the top, until very thick, about 20 minutes. Lower the heat as the orange juice reduces to avoid burning. Whisk in the honey about 15 minutes into cooking, or whenever the foaming subsides.
• Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and let cool slightly. Whisk in the lime juice, olive oil and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Taste -- it should be sour but balanced; whisk in a bit more honey if needed. Let sit at room temperature while you make the rest of the dish. (The sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
• For the martini relish: Combine the olives, peppers, shallots, jalapeno, dill, parsley, olive oil, vinegar and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (The relish can be made up to 1 day in advance without the dill and parsley; store in the refrigerator. Add the herbs just before serving.)
• For the crispy herbed couscous: Put 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the couscous, remove from the heat, cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
• Heat the oil in a medium nonstick pan until it shimmers. Add the cooked couscous and press into an even layer. Cook without stirring until the couscous becomes lightly golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Flip the couscous with a spatula; it will break up, but that's OK -- you want to get as much of the crispy bottom on top now. Cook, pressing occasionally, to crisp the second side, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the pan to break up the crispy bits, then remove from the heat. Toss with the dill and parsley.
• For the parchment-steamed grouper: Remove the fish from the refrigerator 15 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cut four large parchment paper circles or hearts. Place each piece of fish slightly off-center on a piece of parchment. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, scatter with parsley leaves and torn dill, and drizzle with olive oil and white wine.
• Fold the parchment over the fish and crimp the edges tightly in 1/4-inch folds to create a half-moon shape. Make sure you press as you crimp and fold to seal the packets well; otherwise, the steam will escape. Arrange the packets on a baking pan and bake for exactly 7 minutes.
• Using oven mitts, place each packet on a dinner plate. Let sit for 1 minute, then carefully open the parchment. Drizzle with sour orange sauce and top with martini relish, followed by a touch more of the sauce. Sprinkle couscous around and on top of the fish. Serve immediately.

STEAMED GROUPER FILLET RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Mix eggs, milk, seasonings and lemon juice. Soak fillets in mixture for at least 30 minutes. Make sure fish are covered in the egg mixtures, place in refrigerator. Dip each fillet into crumbs, enough to cover. Oil bottom of pan and fry fillets on one side for 3/4 minutes, then the other side for 2 minutes. At this point, add 1/2 - 3/4 cup white wine and sprinkle fillets with parmesan cheese. Cover and steam until fillets are tender. Serve immediately. Also very good with boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

SUPER GROUPER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine melted butter and lemon juice in a small bowl. Brush 2 tablespoons of this mixture on a piece of foil placed on the broiler pan.
• Mix together garlic salt, parsley, paprika and white pepper. Sprinkle spice mixture on both sides of fillets.
• Bake fillets until meat flakes, about 10 minutes. Brush fillets again with lemon butter and spread with mayonnaise. Sprinkle with paprika before serving.

BAHAMIAN BAKED GROUPER

Steps:

• Arrange the grouper on a plate. Drizzle the lime juice over the fillets and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
• Lay the fillets in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Arrange the tomato slices, onion slices, and bell pepper slices atop the fillets. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven until the fish flakes easily, about 1 hour.

SCRUMPTIOUS STEAMED GROUPER

Steps:

• Wash and peel the ginger by using a peeler or a knife; just as you would with a carrot. Slice it diagonally or transversally. Leave aside.
• Wash the spring onions and shake off the excess water. Then cut them julliene style. It they are too thin and difficult to julienne, then finely slice them in a diagonal direction. Leave aside.
• Wash the coriander and shake off the excess. Roughly chop them and leave aside.
• The fish should be as fresh as possible and thoroughly scaled. Even though they would do this at the fish shop, you should make sure by yourself.
• Use a knife to remove any scales that might be left (always from tail to head - opposite to the scales direction), paying special attention to the head and the areas near the fins.
• Use kitchen shears to trim the fins. Leave the tail whole for presentation purposes. Check the cavity and the gills and remove any leftovers.
• Wash and shake off the excess water.
• Make a diagonal cut on each side of the fish. This will help to cook the fish evenly and it will be easier to check if it is done.
• Rub the salt on the fish.
• Place half of the ginger in a heat-proof dish, put the fish on top and then cover with the remaining ginger.
• Use a wok or a saucepan big enough to hold your heat-proof dish. Place a metal steam rack and add water. Bring to a boil, then place your heat-proof dish with the fish and put the lid on.
• Steam for about 15-20 minutes, until the fish is done. You can look into the diagonal cut and the flesh should be opaque all the way to the bone.
• Meanwhile, when the fish is nearly done, put the oil in a frying pan over high heat.
• Carefully remove the heat-proof dish (remember that it will be very hot). Drain the liquid, lift your fish with care and place in an elongated presentation plate, which should be heat-proof too. Remove the ginger.
• Sprinkle the spring onions and coriander on top and pour the soy sauce all over.
• When the oil is smoking hot, carefully pour it over the fish. Be very careful, while handling the hot oil.
• Serve hot.
