Marinated Grouper With Coconut-Ginger Rice

Preparation

1. Step 1

   To make the grouper, combine the lime juice and jalapeno in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Add the fish and turn to coat in the marinade. Let stand for 20 minutes, turning once.

2. Step 2

   Meanwhile, to make the rice, heat the butter in a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant but not brown, about 1 minute. Add the rice and stir for 1 minute.

3. Step 3

   Add the coconut milk, water and 1½ teaspoons salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and cook the rice until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 1 minute. Fluff with a fork.

4. Step 4

   Preheat the broiler. Remove grouper from marinade and place on a baking sheet or broiler pan. Broil until fish is just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Place 1 fillet on each of 4 plates and sprinkle with cilantro. Spoon the rice beside the fish and serve immediately.
