For the Grouper Sandwich:
  • 1 pound fresh grouper fillets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 cup lettuce leaves
For the Mango Salsa:

  • 1 jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

INSTRUCTIONS                                                                                                                                                     

1) In three separate shallow dishes, prepare the breading station. In the first dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. In the second dish, beat the egg. In the third dish, place the breadcrumbs.

2) Dredge each grouper fillet in the flour mixture, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.

3) In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded grouper fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through.

4) In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the mango salsa. Toss to combine and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed.

5) In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, and lime zest to create the lime mayo.

6) To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of lime mayo on each burger bun. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked grouper fillet.

7) Top the grouper with a spoonful of mango salsa, and then place the top bun on the sandwich.

8) Serve the Grouper Sandwiches with extra mango salsa on the side.
