Grouper with Lemon Basil Cream Sauce
When I was growing up, every Friday we had fish for dinner. It was a tradition my father had done when he was growing up, and a tradition that I still carry on with my family today. One of our favorite fish is Grouper. It’s a mild white form fish that can be paired with many different flavors.
I like to keep our fish pretty simple. Often times, I blacken it, but my favorite way is to broil it in the oven and serve it with a simple lemon sauce. For this recipe I added garlic and fresh basil to butter along with dry white wine. To finish the sauce, I added fresh cream.
When I made this recipe I used a new product from Land O’Lakes, their new Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt. When Land O’ Lakes first contacted me, along with a few other bloggers to try out their new butter, I couldn’t wait. You can see this recipe here on Betty Crocker too.
I knew this butter would be good, but I had no idea just how good. I first tried it on bread, and the flavor is just amazing. The sea salt really brings out the flavors in the butter, while the olive oil adds a wonderful complexity to the flavor profile.
I also sautéed some baby zucchini over medium low heat with a couple of tablespoons of the sea salt and olive oil butter. It made the best baby zucchini I’ve ever had.
