Pecan- Crusted Grouper

Plated dish featuring a pecan-crusted white fish fillet served over sautéed green beans, tomato chutney, and creamy cheese grits, garnished with fresh herbs.

This Pecan-Crusted Grouper recipe has a buttery, salty, decadent crust (thanks in part to the crushed Ritz crackers I use) and the whole thing flakes apart and melts in your mouth. Served on a bed of grits and green beans, you’ve got a well-rounded meal that shows off everything a great fish entrée can be. Enjoy!
