GROUPER ON THE GRILL RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• In a small bowl combine the butter, garlic, Parmesan, Essence, and olive oil and whisk to combine.
• Lay the fillets on the grill, scale side down, and brush generously with the melted butter mixture. Close the grill cover and cook for 3 minutes. Open and brush again with the melted butter mixture. Repeat this process until the flesh is firm and opaque, for a total cooking time of about 12 to 15 minutes for this size fish. The last minute of cooking time, sprinkle with the fresh herbs. Remove from the grill and serve immediately with Arugula and Orange Salad.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

• In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, spinach, red onion, and orange segments.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, orange juice, and vinegar. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the oil. Whisk until emulsified and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• 1. Score the butterfish down to the bone on each side, and place in a large ziplock bag. 2. Cut the lemongrass and ginger into a small dice. Combine them with the remaining ingredients in a food processor, and blend until smooth. 3. Transfer the marinade into the ziplock bag with the fish, and massage to make sure the fish are coated. Let marinate in the fridge overnight, or at least 2 hours. 4. Remove the bag from the fridge and bring up to room temperature before cooking. Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 minutes before using. Wipe excess marinade off of the fish. 5. If grilling, make sure the grill grates are well oiled, then get the grill going with high temperature. You’ll want to cook these with indirect heat, so try to heat one side of the grill fairly high, to create ambient heat. 6. If broiling, set the oven rack in the middle of the oven, preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. Brush some extra coconut oil on the foil. 7. To skewer, you’ll want to use 2 bamboo skewers per set of fish. Put one skewer through the belly cavity and up through the top of the fish. The second skewer should be between the cavity and the tail, also pushing up through the top of the fish. Push the fish down the skewers, then pierce another fish on top, repeating with a third fish if desired. Place no more than three fish per skewer. 8. Broil or grill for about 3-5 minutes each side, keeping an eye on the fish so they don’t burn, as the skin is delicate. Serve with your favorite peanut sauce.
