Grilled Grouper with Tomato & Corn Salsa
Makes 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Marinating Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 12 - 14 Minutes
Salsa:
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup cooked corn kernels
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1-2 drops jalapeño pepper sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Grilled Grouper:
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 half-pound grouper fillets
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1. In a medium bowl, mix all the salsa ingredients and allow flavors to blend at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large shallow dish, combine the lime juice, garlic, cilantro and olive oil. Season the grouper with salt and pepper and allow the fillets to marinate in the mixture for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Grill the fillets over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side, until the fish flakes easily.
4. Transfer the grilled grouper to 4 serving plates and top
with the room-temperature tomato and corn salsa.
Note: definitely avoid canned corn and use frozen or, better yet, cut some fresh kernels. You may skip the salsa if you wish because the grouper marinade is very tasty on the fish by itself.
