Parmesan Crusted Grouper In Cream Sauce

[Catch-All]

DIFFICULTY OF PREPARATION: On a scale of Easy, Moderate, Difficult or Pain In The Ass - I rate this one as Difficult

INGREDIENTS:
four 8-oz Grouper fillets
1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
1/2 Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup Onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup Half-N-Half
1 tablespoon Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh Parsley
1 tablespoon fresh Basil
10 oz Alfredo Sauce
1/2 stick real Butter
non-stick cooking spray
salt & pepper
1 tablespoon Olde Bay or substitute Italian-style gumbo rub

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Spray non-stick on medium-size baking pan

Place 4 Grouper fillets in pan, lightly season, set aside

In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs, and 1 tablespoon Old Bay

In a medium-sized skillet, place the 1/2 stick of real butter, 1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, 1/2 cup Onion, 1 tablespoon minced Garlic, 1 tablespoon Parsley, 1 tablespoon Basil, and heat on medium-low until the onions are translucent

Add 10 ozs Alfredo Sauce, 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan, and 1/4 cup Half-N-Half. Stir until smooth

Use about 1 cup of the cream sauce to evenly cover each of the 4 Grouper fillets with a thich coating. Sprinkle Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan and Old Bay mixture evenly over each Grouper fillet

Place on the high rack of the oven and bake for approx 20-25 minutes until the Panko bread crumbs turn golden brown

Use the remaining portion of the cream sauce to pour over a side dish of pasta or rice.

Goes well with iced tea, white wine or a light lager beer

(I got this one out of Gaff Magazine but changed a couple things)

They have something similar for swordfish on the LP site.

yeah, but I lost a couple or three teeth from their recipe. Their recipe called for braided line instead of vermicelli pasta, dammit!
