Mediterranean Style Grouper with Lemon Pomegranate Vinaigrette

I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving, and black Friday! :) I know I did. Now, only 30 more days until Christmas! Even in the middle of fall and winter, I like to spruce up my every day meals with something summery and healthy. Fish is the perfect option for this!
I love fish, and it's so healthy for you! Fish is fast cooking, and the flavour possibilities are endless. I hope you enjoy this MAWWVELOUS recipe that I have provided! :)

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1/4 cup (or more if you so prefer) pomegranate juice (I use Pom)
• 2 tablespoons of sherry wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 minced shallot
• 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine, melted
• 4 grouper fillets
• 1 medium lemon juice
• pinch of sea salt and pepper
• fresh parsley

Recipe

1. preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
2. For lemon pomegranate vinaigrette- whisk together olive oil, pomegranate juice, sherry vinegar, mustard, shallot, lemon juice in a small bowl. Cover and set aside.
3. Generously sprinkle the grouper with salt and pepper on each side. Place into a greased baking pan. Pour the melted butter over each piece
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is fork tender.
5. Serve with the vinaigrette on top! :)

Now you can serve this meal with a variety of different things. I think a combo of fresh green beans and red peppers slightly sauteed in a pan and serve the fish on top would be just dandy :) I hope you enjoy!

Oh, you can substitute the grouper for any white fish really. You should be able to find grouper in your local store, but if not, I have options!  Cod or bass has a similar taste and texture. If you choose a flounder, reduce your cooking time to about 10-15 minutes!
