Broiled Grouper with Lemon and Thyme
Description
This recipe uses fresh grouper filets seasoned with freshly minced garlic, lemon zest, and juice, alongside thyme and ground black pepper. The lemon imparts brightness that complements the mild fish, while garlic and thyme add aromatic herbal notes.
Broiling places the fish close to a medium-high heat source for 5 to 7 minutes, depending on thickness, allowing the fish to become opaque and easily flaked with a fork. The cooking is done on a greased baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Serving these filets immediately ensures the fish remains moist and tender. This simple method highlights the natural flavors of the grouper and can be adapted to similar firm white fish like striped bass or snapper.
The note specifies approximate amounts of lemon zest and juice for balanced citrus flavor without overpowering the fish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb grouper filet or Striped Bass, Mahi-Mahi and Red Snapper, fresh
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ tsp thyme
- 1/8 tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- Preheat your oven’s broiler to medium-high.
- Place filets in one layer on a greased baking sheet. Squeeze the lemon juice over the filets and sprinkle them with the lemon zest, minced garlic, thyme and black pepper.
- Place the fish in the oven, roughly 5-6" from the broiler heating element.
- Broil for 5-7 minutes (roughly 5 minutes for each 1/2 inch of thickness), checking regularly, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
- Use roughly 2 teaspoons of lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for balanced acidity.
- Broil fish 5 minutes per half inch thickness; adjust based on filet size.
- Grease baking sheet to prevent sticking during broiling.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
