This recipe is the perfect intro for making Baked Grouper for the first time. It’s quick and easy to make and is sure to leave you wanting seconds!
The first time I ever heard of somebody topping fish with mayonnaise, I thought it was perhaps the grossest thing I’d ever heard of. However, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy some of the beautiful red grouper that was in the grocery store recently. Prepared properly, grouper can be one of the most delicious, buttery, light fishes out there. However, if over baked it becomes very dry, very quickly.
Enter the mayonnaise topping. Now, bear with me (because I know it sounds odd), but the mayonnaise actually makes sense, if you really think about it. Mayonnaise is basically an emulsion of lemon juice, salt, eggs and oil, so it stands to reason that it would be a great topping for fish- three of those things are what you normally put on fish anyway! The mayonnaise sort of “melts” as you cook the fish, essentially slowly and continually basting it, while simultaneously protecting the meat from the heat. The result? A tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth piece of fish.
I chose to roast broccolini and tomatoes under the fish so that they would catch the melting topping from the fish, and they turned out great. You could even add some white wine to the bottom of the pan as well, if you were so inclined.
All in all, this is a dinner that takes seconds to put together and seconds to clean up, while still being absolutely delicious. You can’t ask for more.
