Grilled Grouper Recipe with Oranges and Olives
Description
The Grilled Grouper involves preheating the grill to high, then patting the fish dry and drizzling it with olive oil. Minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and orange zest are rubbed evenly on both sides of the fillet to season and infuse citrus notes. The grouper is grilled carefully for about 4 minutes per side to maintain the moist texture and prevent breaking, then tented with foil to rest.
Alongside, sliced oranges and red onions are briefly grilled for a minute per side, warming them and adding caramelized flavor without overpowering the fish. The final presentation includes the grilled grouper garnished with the citrus slices, onions, and briny small olives, creating a vibrant plate combining smoky, sweet, and salty tastes.
Cooking to an internal temperature of 145°F ensures the grouper is safely cooked without drying out; removing it from the grill at 140°F allows carryover cooking during resting. This dish suits casual summer meals or gatherings where fresh grilled fish is paired with bright fruits and savory accents.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds grouper fillet whole
- 1 red onion sliced, large, plural
- 4 orange zested and sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 3/4 cup olives small, briny
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high heat. Pat the grouper fillet dry then drizzle with olives oil. Sprinkle with minced garlic, salt and pepper. Then zest 1-2 oranges over the top of the grouper. Gently rub the grouper on both sides to distribute the orange zest, garlic and seasoning.
- Slice the oranges and onions. Grill the grouper for about 4 minutes per side, carefully flipping with two spatulas, so the fillet doesn't break. Tent with foil, then grill the oranges and onions for 1 minute per side.
- Place the grouper on a platter with the grilled onions, oranges and olives. Serve warm.
Notes
- Grill the grouper fillet to an internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption; remove at 140°F to allow resting carryover cooking.
