What should Roasted Grouper Fish look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 7: cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork and internal temperature reaches 145°F. A reading of 145 F on a thermometer settles it.

Why pat it dry first in Roasted Grouper Fish?
