    List of Ingredients




    Baked Fish with Walnut-Cilantro Sauce


    2 ounces walnuts -- (1/2 cup)
    Sea salt
    1/2 teaspoon Hot paprika
    3 tablespoons Olive oil -- + more as needed
    2 Garlic cloves -- roughly chopped
    1 cup Chopped cilantro
    1 Lemon -- Juice of
    4 Fish fillets (preferably halibut orrockfish) -- 6 to 8 ounces each,
    Freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

    Recipe




    Place the walnuts in a food processor. Add a pinch of sea salt and the paprika; process until chopped. Add just enough water to make a mixture that is creamy yet still has some texture. Transfer to a bowl.

    Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the cilantro and cook for 1 minute. Add to the walnuts along with the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. If necessary, adjust sauce consistency with water.

    Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper; let stand for 20 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

    Heat a thin film of olive oil in a large saute pan over moderately high heat. Add the fish and saute until lightly colored on one side, turn the fillets over. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the fish is no longer translucent in the center, about 8 minutes depending on thickness.

    Serve with the Walnut-Cilantro Sauce.
