Seaside Delight: Grilled Grouper Fillets & Summery Crab Salad

Dive into this delectable recipe for Grilled Grouper Fillets & Summery Crab Salad!

Ingredients:

- 4 Grouper fillets (6 - 7 ounces each), patted dry

- Lucky Cajun seasoning

- Cooking oil

- 1 Pound of Asparagus

- 1 Pound of lump crab meat

- 1 large diced Avocado

- 1/2 cup of sliced Cherry tomatoes

- 1 can of diced Hearts of palm (soaked to remove excess salt)

- 2 thinly sliced Shallots

- 1/2 cup of roughly chopped flat leaf Parsley

- 1 large Lemon (juice and zest)

- 3 Tbsp of Olive oil

- Splash of Tabasco

- (Optional) Your favorite greens, sandwich bread, or lettuce wraps

Steps:

1. Season the dry grouper fillets with Lucky Cajun and brush lightly with oil.

2. Prepare the asparagus by peeling off the hard outer layer. If asparagus is thin, simply bend the ends and let it break naturally to remove the tough part.

3. Prepare the Summery Crab Salad by mixing the lump crab meat, diced avocado, sliced cherry tomatoes, soaked diced hearts of palm, thinly sliced shallots, chopped parsley, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, and a splash of Tabasco.

4. Season the salad with 1-2 teaspoons of Lucky Cajun, to taste. Stir well and let it chill.

5. Ensure the grill is cleaned, heated, and lightly oiled.

6. Grill each fillet for 3-4 minutes on each side. Wait till it's ready to release easily before flipping to prevent sticking.

7. Grill the asparagus for 2-3 minutes while continuously turning it for even cooking.

8. To serve, lay the grilled fish and asparagus on a plate, then top with the crab salad.

9. For a quicker meal, spoon the flavorful crab salad over your favorite greens, sandwich bread, or use as a filling for lettuce wraps.
