Lemon Caper Grouper

Meaty, mild and marvelous, Atlantic grouper is everyone’s favorite: Fine for fingers, great on the grill, or — in this case — gently sautéd in a lemon-butter-caper sauce. It’s a fast fix from fridge to fork but the flavor lingers long after you’ve swallowed that last delicious bite. Come get a few fillets and try this.

1 1/2 lb Fresh grouper fillet

3/4 cup All-purpose flour

1 tsp Kosher Salt

1 tsp Ground black pepper

3 tbsp Unsalted butter, divided

1/2 cup White wine

2 tbsp Non-pareil capers, drained

2 tbsp Fresh lemon, juiced

1 tbsp Fresh Italian parsley, chopped

Rinse fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Blend flour, salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on a large plate. Turn fillets in flour to coat both sides.

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat.

Sauté fillets 3 minutes per side or until lightly browned; transfer to a warm plate.

Add wine; stir to deglaze skillet.

Bring to a boil and heat 2 minutes. Add capers and remaining pepper and heat through.

Whisk 1 tablespoon butter into sauce until smooth. Blend in lemon juice and parsley.

Drizzle sauce over fish and serve immediately.
