Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Cucumber Slaw:
1 cup julienned cucumber
1/2 cup julienned red bell pepper
1/2 cup julienned carrot
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Key Lime Butter Sauce:
6 ounces white wine
2 shallots, minced
2 bay leaves
4 cups heavy cream
Zest and juice of 2 Key limes
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cubed
For the Grouper:
Four 7-ounce fresh skinless grouper filets
2 ounces blended oil (half olive oil, half vegetable oil)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

This recipe was a disaster. The fish was overcooked and the sauce was curdled. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The fish was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. The fish was cooked well and the sauce was flavorful, but it was a bit too heavy for me.
