By á-177220

Ingredients

• FOR THE FISH
• 4 medium shallots, minced
• 1/3 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Meyer lemon juice
• 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 6-ounce skinless grouper fillets
• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
• All-purpose flour, for dusting
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

To make the beurre blanc:
Combine the shallots, wine, and vinegar in a skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Pour off liquid, leaving shallots in pan. Whisk in butter one piece at a time, until sauce is thick and emusified (move pan on and off the heat to keep it warm, but not hot). Cover, and keep warm.

To cook the fish:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season fish with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, tapping off excess. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add fish, skin-side down, and cook for 2 minutes. Turn, and transfer to the oven until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately drizzled with sauce.
