Detailed Dish: Pan-fried Red Grouper

A culinary masterwork is SpringHouse's pan-fried red grouper. At about forty dollars, this meal is a gorgeously cooked grouper with flaky, soft meat within and a crispy, golden outside. The richness of the fish is complemented by the creamy orzo's delicate, silky texture. Lemon and lime zest give brightness to the dish and provide a cool counterpoint to the flavorful fish. A note of freshness is added to the meal right before serving by stirring in young Brussels sprout leaves. Tiny bursts of red grapefruit add unexpected splashes of flavor.
