Herb Crusted Grilled Grouper
Herb Crusted Grilled Grouper is a thick, meaty white fish and is delicious when grilled with a crust of Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
- 4 5-ounce Grouper fillets, or white fish of your choice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- lemon slices , for garnish
For the herb crust:
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon each of fresh chopped basil and parsley
Instructions
- Heat the outside burners on your grill to 350 degrees or medium heat. Heat the middle burner(s) to 200 degrees or low heat. You'll be cooking your fish in the middle of the grill with indirect heat.
- Begin by mixing the ingredients for the herb crust in a small bowl. I used fresh herbs, chopped them, and added them to the mixture.
- Prepare the fish by placing the fillets in a baking dish. If your fish has skin on one side, place the skin side down. The fish will pull away from the skin after cooking. My fish did not have skin. Coat the top of each piece of fish with the herb mixture. Then drizzle olive oil over the top.
- Cover your grill rack with a large piece of foil and brush the foil with one tablespoon of olive oil. Carefully transfer your fillets to the grill.
- Cook for about 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. Check the fish after 6 minutes if your fillets are thin. Keep the lid of the grill closed, as you are using indirect heat to cook the top of the fish. When the fish turns white and is bouncy to the touch, it is done. The top will be slightly crispy and golden brown.
