Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 lbs grouper fillets ((4 portions of 8 ounces each, about 1 1/2 inches in thickness))
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning ((see recipe or use your favorite brand))
  • 1 tsp Herbes de Provence
  • 1 large lemon ((sliced - use more for serving if desired))
  • 2 Tbsp butter ((optional, for brushing onto your grilling fillets))

Instruction

  • Season the grouper fillets with the Cajun seasoning and herbes de provence, making sure that all sides are generously coated.
  • Prep the grill and grab your fish basket or grill basket if you have one. Clean your grill and heat the grill (with optional grill or fish basket) to high heat, about 400°F (205°C).
  • Oil your grill grate, grate basket, or wire fish basket liberally then place the fish on the heated grill and close the lid. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or more for thicker fillets. Brush the upward facing side with melted butter if desired, then flip and brush the cooked side that is now facing upward.
  • Close the lid of your grill and continue cooking an additional 4-6 minutes then remove the grouper fillets when they are just shy of being done (they will finish cooking during the resting time).
  • Your fillets should be opaque with only hint of being transparent at the center when it is ready to rest. Once you remove the grouper, add the lemon slices onto the hot grill and sear on both sides if desired.
  • Rest the grilled grouper for 10 minutes, tented loosely with a square of aluminum foil, for 10 minutes before serving.
