Notes
Sharon's Expert Tips:You can tell if the fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If you are using a meat thermometer, it should read 145 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the fish.You can easily substitute any firm white fish for grouper including red snapper, redfish, bass or halibut. Thin fillets from delicate fish such as flounder or sole won't work as well, and salmon would make the dish too rich. This recipe works best with fillets which are at least one-inch thick. If your fillets are frozen, be sure to allow them to thaw first and pat them dry with a paper towel.Instead of trying to sprinkle paprika on the fillets, it's easier to pour some in your hand and take a pinch with your fingers and dust the fillets lightly.
