I don't know about anyone else, but a lot of my grocery decisions are now made based on what is on sale for the week. And this beautiful slab of fish was definitely on sale. I didn't want to try and freeze it for later, as fresh fish is always best, so I found this recipe that uses the cheese-mayonnaise topping that works so well with fish. I had to watch it pretty closely to make sure it didn't burn, but it was a fast supper for a nice piece of fish.
Broiled Grouper Parmesan
From Allrecipes
2 pounds fresh grouper fillets
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 dash hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Lightly grease a baking pan.
Place grouper fillets on the prepared baking pan; brush with lemon juice. Combine Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
Broil fillets in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 to 6 minutes; remove the pan from the oven and spread cheese mixture on top of fillets. Return to the broiler for an additional 30 seconds, or until topping is browned and bubbly.
