Ingredients:
11/2 to 2 pounds fresh grouper filets about a half inch thick, look for firm white fleshy fish in the Seafood section of your better variety grocery store
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 table spoons real salted butter

Dill Weed
3/4 cup of Gourmet Tomato Relish
2 Cups mixed medley vegetables (pre packaged in produce section) broccoli, pea pods, zucchini pieces or squash pieces
1/2 cup mushrooms
1/3 cup white wine
You will need two 9" skillets...in one skillet cover bottom with olive oil over low heat and put in the vegetables, salt and fresh ground pepper, white wine...simmer over low med heat for about 8 minutes or until the veggies are tender, add sweet relish last.
Wash fish, sprinkle fresh ground salt and pepper, and dill weed liberally on both sides. In the other skillet coat liberally the entire bottom surface and sides with olive oil and add the butter over medium heat. Sautee' fish for three to four minutes each side DO NOT OVER COOK ! This is the secret to a tasty dish. Pour the veggie /Tomato Relish over the Fish. Cover and let finish cooking together over the still warm burner that is off...or on extremely low heat for about 5 to 7 minutes.
Time enough to open a bottle of your favorite Chardonnay and seat you guests. You are done...Fish, Vegetables, and Sauce in one pan. Serve fish with liberal drizzle of the sauce and vegetables on the side or even on the fish along with wedges of rosemary / olive oil bread. Serves 4 to 6 folks dependant on the appetite!
