It <em>is </em>a good way to make grouper. I don't remember the side dish, but maybe it was broccoli. I eat a lot of it. Asparagus and wild rice sounds wonderful. I have a good recipe here for a white and wild rice timbale, if you're ever in the mood to play with food. ;) You’re welcome. It is a good way to make grouper.

It looks fabulous and I can't wait to try it! What did you use as your side dish? I'd say some asparagus and maybe wild rice? Wow thanks for recommending this recipe!

I think bamboo steamers usually do a super job with fish and this should not be a problem. The soaked leaves could even be used to wrap the fish in a packet. I've done it with plantain leaves. Fun ideas! Thanks. PS - To clarify, I have not used soaked leaves with this recipe or with grouper in general. Hi, Tess.

The dried leaves seem to have a sort of natural "non-stick" property. Line the steamer with soaked leaves, brush a little oil on the fish, and place the steamer over rapidly boiling water. It's not so much frying as steaming? I almost wonder if green corn husks would add a little summery-sweet corn flavor? Just a thought. <abbr><em>tess’s last blog post..<a href="http://1tess.wordpress.com/2009/05/18/stir-fried-hijiki-rice/" rel="nofollow">Stir-Fried Hijiki Rice</a></em></abbr> I’m wondering if this recipe could be cooked in a steamer, with the fish placed on bamboo (or other large edible) leaves—even on corn husks.

I'm glad you asked. :) Not everyone has a non-stick skillet but it can and will stick, even in All-Clad non-stick, unless a lot more oil is used. Hi, Nate.
