Harissa-Spiced Grilled Grouper with Minted Yogurt Drizzle ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Grouper fillets
  • 2 tbsp Harissa paste
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp Salt
  • 0.125 tsp Black pepper

How to make Harissa-Spiced Grilled Grouper with Minted Yogurt Drizzle

  1. Pat the grouper fillets very dry with paper towels to ensure the rub adheres well and for better grilling results.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp harissa paste, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, and 0.5 tsp salt to create the harissa marinade.
  3. Rub the harissa marinade generously over all sides of the grouper fillets. Allow the fish to marinate at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes if preparing ahead.
  4. While the fish marinates, prepare the minted yogurt drizzle: In another small bowl, combine 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint leaves, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 0.25 tsp garlic powder, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.125 tsp black pepper. Stir until well combined and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then set aside.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F). Clean the grill grates thoroughly and brush them lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Place the marinated grouper fillets directly on the hot, oiled grill grates. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, with the grill lid closed, until char marks appear and the fish is cooked through.
  7. Carefully flip the fillets using a wide, thin spatula. Continue grilling for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  8. Transfer the grilled harissa-spiced grouper fillets to a serving platter. Let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Serve the grilled grouper immediately, drizzling a generous amount of the cool minted yogurt sauce over each fillet. Garnish with a few extra mint leaves if desired.
