Grilled Grouper with Basil-Lime Pistou

Recipes > Main Dishes > Grilled Grouper with Basil-Lime Pistou
Pistou (pees-TOO) is a southern French interpretation of pesto, the Italian herb and nut paste. Resting the chopped garlic allows heart-healthful compounds to develop. The instructions call for grilling, but you can also prepare the fish in a grill pan, cooking it about four minutes on each side.

YIELD: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and about 1 tablespoon pistou)

  • Pistou:
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lime rind
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • Grouper:
  • 4 (6-ounce) grouper fillets (about 1/2 inch thick)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

1. To prepare pistou, combine first 7 ingredients in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Let stand 10 minutes.

2. Prepare grill.

3. To prepare grouper, sprinkle fish evenly with salt and pepper. Place fish on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with pistou.
