Fennel Crusted Grouper Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium low heat. Saute the onions with salt and pepper until soft but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add the fennel and cook 3 to 5 minutes more. Set aside to cool.
• Transfer the onion mixture to a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. The relish can be refrigerated overnight.
• Heat a grill. Brush fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• To serve, place fish on a serving platter or individual plates and top with relish.

Steps:

• Toast fennel seeds over medium heat 1-2 minutes or until aromatic in a small skillet. Remove from skillet. Finely crush toasted seeds using a mortar and pestle, a spice mill, a clean coffee grinder or a rolling pin. Blend with dill, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Rub spice mixture evenly on both sides of grouper fillets. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; set aside.
• Heat remaining oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add fillets; saute 4-5 minutes per side or until done and lightly browned. Add white wine to pan; cook 1 minute. Remove grouper to serving plate. Serve with Vanilla Beurre Blanc, if desired.
