This is a classic recipe that's a favorite of those following the Mediterranean diet. There are multiple variations of Mediterranean Grouper, and this one makes use of fresh lemons and capers that are grown throughout the Mediterranean region...even Malta! It's a healthy and tasty dish that's so quick to prepare. It makes a great entree choice when entertaining company because the sauce is delectable and rounds out the main dish quite nicely. Add a side dish of roasted potatoes and a fresh-baked Mediterranean Olive Bread, and you have a fantastic dinner that you and your guests will love.
