Equipment

  • Grill Pan

Ingredients

  • 8 to 10 ounces fresh grouper fillet per person
  • Cajun seasoning for coating
  • 2 cups fresh mango cubed
  • 2 cups ripe pineapple cubed
  • 2 cups sweet papaya cubed
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 cup diced fire-roasted red peppers
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced jalapeños adjust for heat preference
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger new addition for a subtle zing
  • 1 tablespoon honey new addition to balance the acidity with a touch of sweetness
  • Mixed baby greens for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Grouper

  • Start with fresh grouper fillets. Pat them dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning stick better. After drying the fish, rub a generous amount of Cajun seasoning on both sides. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Grill the Fish

  • Place the seasoned grouper on the grill. It only needs about 4 to 5 minutes per side. The fish should easily flake when tested with a fork. Keep an eye on it; overcooked fish is a tragedy.

Step 3: Make the Fruit Salsa

  • In a mixing bowl, combine cubed mango, pineapple, and papaya. Add diced fire-roasted red peppers, jalapeños, lime juice, chopped cilantro, grated ginger, and honey. Toss gently to combine all those beautiful flavors. Set this aside to let the juices mingle while the fish finishes cooking.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

  • Once the grouper is perfectly cooked, carefully transfer it to a serving platter. Top it generously with the fruity salsa. Drizzle some olive oil over the greens and place them on the plate as a bed for the fish and salsa.

Notes

  • Choose Wild-Caught Fish: Whenever possible, go for wild-caught grouper for the best flavor and sustainability.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the Cajun seasoning or omit the jalapeños.
  • Timing Is Key: Prepare the salsa while the fish is cooking to maintain freshness.
  • Stay Fresh: You can make the salsa a few hours ahead of time. Just keep it refrigerated.
  • Presentation Matters: Serve on a white plate to highlight the colorful ingredients.
