Why Should I Make Pan Seared Grouper?

Because of its versatility, grouper is considered one of the most popular fish as you can cook it in a variety of ways and with a variety of ingredients. If you are like me and hate having to pick the tiny bones out of your fish, this recipe will not be an issue! Lean and firm, it has large chunky flakes similar to crab with a sweet and mild flavor.

Can You Use Other Fish Instead Of Grouper?

Since I live in Florida, where grouper is so popular, I decided it would be the perfect fish to make with this recipe. It is also fairly easy to find in most areas. However, snapper, monkfish, and many other mild, yet firm, white fish can also be used if grouper is not available. There are many types of fish that fall into this category such as mahi-mahi, cod, black sea bass, snapper, and haddock.

Why Should I Use A Cast Iron Skillet?

grouper cut into four pieces and pan seared in a cast iron skillet

I absolutely love using cast iron skillets when I’m pan-searing fish or any kind of meat. The main reason I love it so much is that it’s nonstick and easy to clean up. For cooking though, the iron allows the pan to heat more evenly, so you get a better sear on whatever it is you are cooking. Here is the cast iron cookware I used in cooking this recipe – but any large well-seasoned cast-iron skillet will work.

Add in your points for the grouper and avocado if your zero point list does not include them and then the base points come from the butter and the white wine. It’s simply up to what zero point foods are on your list.
