Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 (6 ounce) fillets grouper fillets
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup chopped red onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chopped Roma tomatoes
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon agave nectar
¼ cup capers, drained
4 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat grouper fillets dry and add to the skillet. Cook until lightly browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate. Lightly season the uncooked side with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Add remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Cook and stir onion over medium heat for 1 minute. Add garlic and stir for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, red wine vinegar, and agave. Move the vegetables to one side of the skillet.
  • Return fillets to the skillet, uncooked side-down. Evenly distribute the vegetables around and over the fish. Sprinkle capers on top. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, until the thickest part of the fillet flakes with a fork, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Serve each fillet with vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, good-quality grouper fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and white, with no brown or yellow spots.
  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they are less watery than other varieties.
  • Fresh basil is essential for this recipe. If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute dried basil, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overcook the grouper. Grouper is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it just until it is opaque in the center. Overcooked grouper will be tough and dry.
  • Serve the grouper immediately. Grouper is best served hot, straight out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Grouper with Tomato and Basil is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The grouper is cooked in a flavorful tomato sauce that is made with fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic. The dish is served over rice or pasta.
