Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fresh grouper fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Capers (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Pat grouper fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Place the all-purpose flour on a plate or shallow dish and lightly dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the dredged grouper fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Remove fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers (if using). Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the sauce to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Return the cooked grouper fillets to the skillet, spooning the lemon garlic sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 7

Garnish the fillets with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad for a complete meal.
