PESTO GROUPER
We love Grouper. Unfortunately, we live in Arizona and fish like this is hard to come by. The local market had some one day - a bit pricey but we decided to splurge. I used my home made pesto on this. The combination of pesto, lemon and garlic is wonderful! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray.
- In a small bowl combine melted butter, lemon juice, and garlic. Once combined stir in bread crumbs. Set aside.
- Pat fish dry, salt and pepper to taste. Spread with Basil Pesto. Top with thinly sliced red onions. Top this with the bread crumb and butter mixture. Lightly pat into place once all of the mixture is on top of the fish.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until fish flakes.
Tips:
- Select firm and fresh grouper: Look for fish with clear, bulging eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny aroma. Avoid any fish with dull eyes, soft flesh, or a strong fishy smell.
- Use a quality pesto: Making your own pesto is ideal, but store-bought pesto can also work well. Choose a pesto made with fresh basil, olive oil, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese.
- Don't overcook the grouper: Grouper is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and flaky, which usually takes about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately: Pesto grouper is best served immediately after it is cooked. The fish will continue to cook if it is left in the pan, so remove it as soon as it is done.
Conclusion:
Pesto grouper is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of flavorful pesto, delicate grouper, and roasted vegetables is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can create a restaurant-quality dish that will impress your friends and family.
