Tips:
- Use fresh grouper fillets. This will give the dish the best flavor and texture.
- Season the grouper fillets well with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.

- Use a good quality white wine. The wine will add flavor to the sauce, so it's important to use a wine that you enjoy drinking.
- Don't be afraid to add more capers or lemon juice to the sauce. The sauce should be flavorful and slightly acidic.
- Serve the grouper with a side of rice or vegetables. This will help to complete the meal.
