Lagnappe:
- For a gluten-free version, replace the panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or substitute other herbs for parsley, such as dill or thyme.
- Ensure the grouper fillets are fresh and of high quality for the best taste and texture.
- If you’re not a fan of grouper, you can use other firm white fish like snapper, cod, or halibut.
