How to Make Baked Grouper Creole Parmesan

  1. Prepare the Creole Essence: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix well and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Make the Parmesan Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) melted butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of the Creole essence until smooth.
  4. Prepare the Grouper: Place 4 (6-ounce) grouper fillets in a baking dish.
  5. Brush the fillets generously with the Parmesan sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, basting the fish with the remaining sauce halfway through.
  7. Top with fresh herbs (1 tablespoon chopped parsley or chives) during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Cook until the fish is flaky and cooked through.
  8. Finish: Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice before serving.
