GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH LIME SLAW

Steps:

• Toss the slaw mix, red onion, lime juice, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; set aside.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Oil the grates. Mix the cayenne with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; rub all over the fish. Grill until well marked on the bottom and the fish releases easily from the grill, about 6 minutes. Flip and grill until cooked through, 4 to 6 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice or flake the fish.
• Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and warm on the grill, about 4 minutes.
• Divide the fish among the warm tortillas. Top with the slaw, cilantro, crema and salsa verde. Serve with lime wedges.

PAN SEARED GROUPER WITH TROPICAL SALSA

Steps:

• To make the tropical salsa: Mix all ingredients except oil, grouper and Cajun spice. Let sit while you prepare the grouper.
• To make the grouper: In a cast iron frying pan, heat olive oil until smoking. Coat both sides of grouper with Cajun spice. Place coated grouper in pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until done. Transfer grouper to a serving dish, placing on top of mixed greens. Spoon Tropical Salsa on top of fish.
• * Cook's Note: This recipe also works well with flounder and other types of fish.

PAUL'S GRILLED GROUPER

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• In a small bowl combine the butter, garlic, Parmesan, Essence, and olive oil and whisk to combine.
• Lay the fillets on the grill, scale side down, and brush generously with the melted butter mixture. Close the grill cover and cook for 3 minutes. Open and brush again with the melted butter mixture. Repeat this process until the flesh is firm and opaque, for a total cooking time of about 12 to 15 minutes for this size fish. The last minute of cooking time, sprinkle with the fresh herbs. Remove from the grill and serve immediately with Arugula and Orange Salad.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
