Ingredients

Sour Orange Sauce:

2 cups fresh orange juice

1 tablespoon clover honey

Juice of 1 fresh lime

Splash of white wine vinegar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Martini Relish:

1/4 cup quartered green pitted olives

2 piquillo peppers, drained, patted dry and diced

1 small shallot, thinly sliced

1/2 jalapeno, finely diced

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Grouper:

2 grouper fillets, 6 ounces each

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons dry white wine

Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, for garnish

Directions

  1. For the sour orange sauce: Put the orange juice in a small nonreactive saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat and cook until thickened and reduced to about 1/4 cup. Whisk in the honey and transfer to a bowl. Whisk in the lime juice, vinegar and season with salt and pepper and more honey if needed.
  2. For the relish: Combine the olives, peppers, shallots, jalapeno, oil, vinegar, parsley and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. For the grouper: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Sprinkle both fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Place 1 grouper fillet in the center of each piece of parchment paper. Top each fillet with 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon wine. Fold the edges together, and then tightly fold in the edges, crimping around all sides to seal the packets completely. Place the packets on a baking sheet or in a large oven-proof saute pan. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
  4. Place each packet on a dinner plate and let sit for 2 minutes. Then open the parchment and drizzle with some of the sour orange sauce and top with some of the martini relish. Garnish with parsley leaves.

This recipe was incredibly easy and VERY delicious! i've never written a review before, but the recipe was so good, full of flavor and a nice contrast in textures. The other review is "right on" and my only wish is wondering what wine Bobby Flay would recommend for the grouper/sauce and relish.<br />Give this a try!
