Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces grouper fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 4 large tomatoes
- 2 cups fish stock
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 pinch saffron threads
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the grouper fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Finely dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the red bell pepper. Add them to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and aromatic.
Blanch, peel, and dice the tomatoes. Add them to the pan along with the paprika and saffron threads. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
Pour in the white wine and simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
Add the fish stock to the pan and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Lightly sear the grouper fillets on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Gently lower the seared grouper fillets into the simmering sauce. Cover the pan and let it braise on low heat for 20-25 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving.
Serve the Mallorcan Braised Grouper with chunks of crusty bread or steamed potatoes to soak up the flavorful sauce. Enjoy!
