Pecan Crusted Grouper




Source of Recipe


From True Grits... Tall Tales and Recipes from the New South. The Junior League of Atlanta, Inc.


List of Ingredients




1/2 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 (1 lb.) grouper fillet, cut diagonally into 4 (4 oz.) pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 to 1/3 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup butter or margarine
Juice of 1 lemon
1 bunch Italian parsley, chopped


Recipe



Process the pecans and bread crumbs in a food processor just until a coarse mixture forms. Season the fillet pieces with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour; dip in the egg. Coat with the pecan mixture. Melt 1/4 cup of the butter in a nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the fish on one side until brown. Turn the fish. Bake at 400° F. for 10 minutes or until the fillet pieces flake easily. Remove the fish to a warm platter; wipe the skillet. Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Cook over high heat until the butter is foamy and dark brown, stirring constantly. Add the lemon juice and parsley, stirring until combined. Pour over the grouper. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
