1 cup julienned cucumber
1/2 cup julienned red bell pepper
1/2 cup julienned carrot
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
6 ounces white wine
2 shallots, minced
2 bay leaves
4 cups heavy cream
Zest and juice of 2 Key limes
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cubed
Four 7-ounce fresh skinless grouper filets
2 ounces blended oil (half olive oil, half vegetable oil)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1
For the slaw: Toss together the cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, rice vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil.
2
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
3
For the key lime butter sauce: Bring the wine, shallots and bay leaves to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
4
Once boiling, add the heavy cream and lime zest and juice.
5
Bring back to a boil and cook until reduced by half.
6
Mix the cornstarch and water together and slowly whisk into the reduced cream.
7
Once the mixture thickens turn the heat to low and add the butter a little at a time, whisking each time until fully incorporated.
8
Run through a fine strainer and keep warm until serving.
9
For the grouper: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke.
10
Season the grouper filets with salt and pepper, put in the skillet top-side down and cook until the flesh begins to crisp, about 2 minutes.
11
Do not flip; transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the grouper flakes easily, 5 to 6 minutes.
12
To serve, spoon some Key Lime Butter Sauce on each of 4 plates and top with a grouper filet browned-side up.
13
Top each filet with some Cucumber Slaw and serve.
