"A good eater must be a good man; for a good eater must have good digestion, and a good digestion depends upon a good conscience."
-Benjamin Disraeli, English Statesman
The lemon juice and maple syrup balance the spice of the horseradish and the thyme adds a fresh flowery flavor. This is a quick and easy dish that works for weeknights or the weekend dinner party.
I don’t use bottled lemon juice. I feel that bottled juice does not taste anything like fresh squeezed lemon juice. This is because it is usually made from varying concentrations of lemon juice, water and lemon oil.
Fresh lemons keep fairly well in the crisper of your fridge (about 2 weeks). The juice of one lemon varies greatly. A large lemon has about 4 tablespoons of lemon juice but when a recipe calls for the juice of one lemon, you never really know. Start with 2 tablespoons and increase the amount for taste. If you must use bottled lemon juice, shake the bottle well. Use equivalent amounts of bottled to fresh lemon juice in a recipe.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a medium sized skillet in the oven.
Place the olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic slowly for about 3 - 5 minutes. Do not allow the garlic to brown.
Add the horseradish, thyme, lemon juice, maple syrup and salt. Continue to cook gently for about 5 minutes. Add the spread and black pepper and swirl until melted. Remove from the heat.
Spray the skillet lightly with oil and place the grouper in the pan skin side up. Return the pan to the oven. Cook the fish for about 6 minutes and turn. Add the sauce to the pan and return the pan to the oven.
Cook for another 4 - 5 minutes and serve the fish topped with the sauce.
