Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Grouper fillets
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 servings Cooked pasta or crusty bread (for serving)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the grouper fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and flake easily with a fork. Remove the fillets and set them aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon juice and red pepper flakes (if using), and season the sauce with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Return the grouper fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them to reheat, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley and serve immediately over cooked pasta or alongside crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
