This dish combines flaky grouper fillets with a zesty lemon butter sauce and fresh green beans. It takes about 25 minutes to prepare and cook, serving 2 people.
Ingredients
- 2 grouper fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions
- Prep the Green Beans: In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
