Steamed Grouper with Corn, Tomatoes & Basil
Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh corn kernels
- ½ cup halved grape tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon lightly chopped basil, plus more for serving
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- Sea salt and freshly ground
- pepper
- 2 (6-ounce) grouper fillets
- ½ lemon, plus zest for serving
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into 4 pieces Crusty bread, for serving
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°. Combine corn, tomato, basil, and garlic in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cut 2 pieces of 16-inch-long parchment paper. Fold each in half lengthwise and unfold. Divide corn-tomato mixture evenly between parchment, arranging along one side of the fold. Top with fish and season with salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon over fish and top with 2 pieces of butter. Fold parchment over fish leaving space for steam to circulate. Seal by making small, overlapping folds around edges. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, packets will puff up. To serve, immediately transfer packet to a serving dish and cut open releasing steam. Sprinkle with basil and lemon zest. Serve with bread to sop up juices. NOTE: I highly recommend purchasing a nut milk bag, it makes the process of homemade mylks much easier. A variety of choices can be found online.
