The recipes in Susie Fishbein's kosher cookbooks always lead to crowd-pleasing dishes - delicious and beautiful. The recipes in her cookbooks with few ingredients and simple instructions, such as this Parmesan-Crusted Grouper, are my favorites.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup butter, softened, not melted
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced

- 1 lemon
- freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
1. Preheat broiler to high.
2. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, butter, mayonnaise, and scallions. Set aside.
3. Place the grouper fillets on a lightly greased broiler pan. Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon over the fillets and sprinkle with black pepper.
4. Broil 6 inches from heat for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread the tops of the fillets with cheese mixture.
5. Return to oven and broil for 2 minutes longer or until the topping is lightly browned and bubbly. Remove fillets to platter.
