Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Grouper fillets
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons (divided) Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the grouper fillets dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each grouper fillet in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it evenly with panko breadcrumbs. Repeat for all fillets.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.
Pan-sear the grouper fillets, 2 at a time if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate and keep warm while repeating with any remaining fillets.
Reduce the heat to low, and in the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Let it melt and start to brown slightly for about 1 minute.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Allow the sauce to warm through, about 30 seconds.
Drizzle the lemon-butter sauce over the cooked grouper fillets.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
