Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat grouper fillets dry; add to the skillet. Cook until lightly browned on one side, about 2 minutes; transfer to a plate. Lightly season uncooked sides with salt and black pepper; keep fillets warm.

Serve fillets with vegetables; garnish with parsley.
