1 ½ pounds Fresh Florida Grouper, cut into even 4-ounce servings
1 medium-sized Florida tomato, cored with seeds removed and diced small
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley, oregano), chopped fine (plus extra for garnish)
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped fine
3 tablespoons capers, drained
1 ½ lemons, juiced (plus extra sliced lemon for garnish)
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon all-purpose seafood seasoning blend (Everglades)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ cup low-sodium vegetable broth
Crushed red pepper flakes for heat if desired
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Preheat a large sauté pan or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Evenly season the portioned grouper with the all-purpose seasoning. Lightly dredge the seasoned grouper portions in the all-purpose flour, shaking them off to remove any excess flour. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon of olive to the preheated pan. Carefully add the dredged grouper to the oiled pan, making sure to not overcrowd the pan. Cook the grouper for 2 to 3 minutes per side until cooked throughout, being careful not to overcook. Remove the cooked grouper from the pan and set aside on a plate. Decrease the heat in the same pan to medium and add the capers, garlic, broth, and lemon juice. Cook ingredients for about 3 minutes and add the herbs, diced tomatoes, and remaining butter. Stir ingredients to combine, and carefully add the cooked grouper back to the pan and turn the heat off. Use a spoon to coat the grouper with the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Garnish with extra herbs and sliced lemon. Serve warm.
