Citrusy Baked Grouper
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup softened butter, plus more for baking dish
  • 4 (8 ounce) fillets grouper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1/4 cup key lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 12 slices lime
  • 8 oranges
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a 9x13-inch glass baking dish and lightly grease it with butter. Set the dish aside for now.
3
In order to enhance the flavor of your grouper fillets, sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and a blend of spices including lemon pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place the seasoned fillets into the prepared baking dish.
4
To add an extra layer of flavor and moisture, spread a generous amount of softened butter over the top of each fillet.
5
Combine the lime and orange juices in a separate container, then pour them over the butter-covered fillets.
6
Finally, cover each fillet with a layer of citrus slices consisting of 3 lime slices and 2 orange slices.
7
Bake the fish in your preheated oven until it reaches an opaque and flaky texture, which should take approximately 15 minutes.
