• BASIL BUTTER:
4 • 4 grouper fillets, about 6 ounces each
One • One-half cup Basil Butter (recipe follows)
8 • 8 tomato slices
4 • 4 lemon slices
4 • 4 bay leaves
• Salt and pepper
One-four • One-fourth cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1/2 • 1/2 cup butter, softened
2 • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
3 to 4 • 3 to 4 drops hot sauce

Steps:

Combine all of the butter ingredients together and stir until well blended. Take four is-inch squares of parchment paper and fold each one in half. Place a grouper fillet on the left side of each piece of paper (right side if you're left-handed). Place a spoon of basil butter on each fillet and top with 2 slices of tomato. Add lemon slice bay leaf, salt and pepper. Fold right side of parchment paper over the grouper and starting at the top, make one-inch folds all along the edge of the packet until it's completely sealed. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Put the four packets on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Place each packet on a dinner plate and slice open the top with knife or scissors.
