Dinner Tonight: Grouper Parmesan

It. Is. SPRING! Some of my favorite recipes lie in the heart of Spring. In the south, Springtime is the perfect time to lighten up your meals, eat outside (before the heat kicks you in), enjoy the extra daylight, and incorporate colors into your table. This recipe is a favorite in my family, even the baby inhales it. I serve most of our spring and summer meals with an easy kale salad, and some fresh fruit for dessert. As always, look for fresh, local ingredients to really kick this up a notch.

Ingredients:

• 2 lb grouper
• 1 lemon
• salt and pepper
• 3 T plain greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup softened butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 2 T fresh chopped parsley

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Prep grouper by rubbing both sides with some salt and pepper, squeeze lemon juice over top
3. Bake for 10 minutes
4. Meanwhile, make topping by combining yogurt, cheese, butter, garlic, paprika, and parsley
5. spread mixture over top of fish, and broil until brown and bubbly (took about 2 minutes for me)

Easy! Less than 15 minutes of work, now get outside and soak up this weather, people!
