Red Miso Glazed Grouper

This is an easy recipe to learn and prepare and you can use any kind of fish for it to be a hit. My preference is for cod or salmon, but grouper also works great. This recipe has two parts – first, the slaw preparation; then the fish. It serves four.

**INGREDIENTS (Part II)
**4 grouper filets (or cod or salmon)
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
2 TBSP sesame seed oil
2 TBSP chopped chives
1 TBSP seasoning salt
2 TBSP mayonnaise
2 TBSP red miso paste (any flavor miso will work)
1 TBSP ponzu vinaigrette (any brand)
2 TBSP chopped chives

**INSTRUCTIONS:
*** Preheat oven to 400F.
* Mix together the olive oil, sesame oil and 1 TBSP of the chopped chives. In another bowl mix the mayonnaise, red miso paste and ponzu vinaigrette to smooth out any lumps. Add the remaining 1 TBSP of chopped chives to the mayo mix.
* Season the grouper on all sides with a little seasoning salt.
* Spoon some of the sesame oil mixture on top of all fish fillets and place on roasting pan.
* Place fish in the oven and roast for 10 minutes until the fish is almost cooked through.
* Remove from oven and spread an even coating of the red miso mayonnaise mix on each fillet. Return to oven to cook an additional 5 minutes or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145F. (I personally like to remove the fish when it hits 140F or so and let the carry-over cooking hit 145F after a few minutes while letting the fish rest).
* Plate up the slaw mix ad top with the grouper. Enjoy!
