Grilled Grouper Madeira

Ingredients

6 grouper filets, 8 ounces each

1/2 cup No-Stick Grilling Marinade for seafood

1 Tbl kosher salt

1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

2 tablespoons clarified butter

4 cups mushrooms, sliced

1 12–ounce cans artichoke hearts, drained

3 tablespoons garlic, minced

4 ounces Madeira wine

1 cup Lemon Meunière

1 1/2 cups green onions, sliced

Instructions

Rub the fish filets with the no-stick marinade and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Season the fish with the kosher salt and black pepper.

 

Prepare the grill. Cook the fish over direct-high heat until opaque in the center, about 8-10 minutes. Turn the fish once while cooking. Do not overcook.

 

In a sautee pan, cook mushrooms in clarified butter until tender. Add artichoke hearts, green onions, and garlic and continue to cook for 3–4 minutes. Deglaze with Madeira and reduce wine by one-half. Remove from heat and add lemon meuniere sauce.

 

Top fish with the sauce and garnish with lemon and fresh parsley.

A Quiche for David

Quiche is French in origin, so this recipe is probably an abomination to some. My friend David Trigiani is a dual-citizen Italian is always taking a stand in the French food versus Italian food debate. Heavy whipping cream is a must, and never buy pre-shredded mozzarella. Grate your own. The same goes for parmesan cheese. Never, I repeat never buy that powdery substance in the green can. Invest in a good grater and you'll be a better cook for it. David lives in Jackson, Mississippi, but spends most of his holidays in Italy. He’s an excellent cook, though I have never eaten quiche in his home. Maybe this will inspire him, and I’ll get an invitation.

Orange Crepes with Sugared Cranberries
