Description

A delightful pan-seared grouper dish topped with a creamy coconut miso cilantro sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 grouper fillets
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grouper: Start by patting the grouper fillets dry with a paper towel. Season each fillet generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the grouper fillets, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes each side or until golden brown and flaky.
  3. Make the sauce: While the fish cooks, combine the coconut milk, miso paste, and lime juice in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the miso is dissolved.
  4. Finish it off: Once the grouper is cooked through, place each fillet on a plate, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with chopped cilantro and fresh lime.

Notes

For a vibrant sauce, add a hint of chili paste or diced red pepper. The sauce works well with other firm fish like snapper or mahi-mahi.
