Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Grouper

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the grouper fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Polenta

    In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened. Stir in butter and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until smooth.

  3. 3

    Grill the Grouper

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated grouper fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.

  4. 4

    Char the Tomatoes

    In a grill basket or on skewers, grill the halved cherry tomatoes for 2-3 minutes until charred and softened.

  5. 5

    Make the Crab Salad

    In a bowl, gently combine cooked crab meat with charred tomatoes and chopped fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a serving of soft polenta, top with grilled grouper, and garnish with the charred tomato and crab meat salad.
