A grouper recipe from personal chef Jorge Marquez

Personal chef Jorge Marquez wants you to know one thing about healthy eating: it doesn’t have to be a snoozefest.

Born in Florida but raised in the coastal region of Colombia and then Miami, Marquez combined his Caribbean and Latin American influences to create a simple and nutritious tropical grouper recipe just for South Tampa Magazine readers. Served with coconut quinoa (which can be substituted with rice, Marquez says) and a green salad, this meal fits gluten-free, pescatarian and even paleo diets, if eaten without the quinoa.
