Chef Paul Mattison’s Black Grouper with Tomatoes, Olives, and Fresh Herbs

serves two

Ingredients
2 grouper filets, about 6 oz each
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
10 calamata olives, pitted and cut in half
½ cup shiitake mushrooms
1 oz Marsala wine
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 sprig Italian parsley
1 tablespoons butter
fresh lemon juice

Procedure
Preheat a medium size sauté pan at medium heat, add the olive oil and place the grouper filets carefully in the pan away from you, and cook for about three to four minutes on each side. If the pan gets too hot lower the heat and continue to cook until the fish is cooked through; remove the filets from the pan once they are cooked and drain some of the excess oil and return the pan to the fire; add the olives, tomatoes, and shiitakes, sauté for about one minute; add the Marsala wine, let the wine evaporate for few minutes; add the fresh herbs, butter, fresh lemon juice, and season the sauce with salt and pepper; pour the sauce over the fish and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
