Tasty Grouper served on Spinach Orange Salad

December 29, 2011 By Jittery Cook Leave a Comment

I’ve been offered a suggestion as a New Year’s resolution; to try doing just one thing at a time. That sounds simple, but it’s not. How can you stop multi-tasking once you’ve become accustomed? One possible solution may be to invest in meditation. Quieting the mind to meditate would be a first step towards focusing on doing just one thing at a time. I always imagined that multi-tasking was advantageous. Much gets accomplished, in a shorter time period. But I can see the downfall. It does become difficult to do anything right when attempting many things at once.

There is still time, before the new year celebrations take over, with all their extravagant offerings, for something light and refreshing. The following was served with a side of quinoa, cooked in homemade chicken broth with some chopped red onion and mushrooms.

Roasted GrouperTasty GrouperĀ 

  • 1 T butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1 T Parmesan, grated
  • 1 T olive oil
  • two good dashes of each of these spices: paprika, salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, cayenne, oregano, thyme
  • 11/2 – 2 lb grouper fillets, or your favorite fish fillets
  • 1/8 cup finely chopped fresh herbs: tarragon, thyme, basil or chives

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl combine the butter, garlic, Parmesan, spices, and olive oil. Brush fillets with butter mixture and cook for approximately 8 minutes, then slice lengthwise to hasten even cooking, cooking an additional 4 minutes until the flesh flakes when poked. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve hot, atop the Spinach Orange Salad.

Spinach Orange SaladĀ
