Whitefish With Cilantro Pesto
Using cilantro instead of the more traditional basil in the pesto
induces a lively, pungent fragrance, and adds a refreshing flavor to mild
whitefish.
Servings 4 Serving Size 3-1/2 oz. fish
4 fish fillets such as whitefish, scrod, sole, or flounder 2 tbsp lemon
juice, fresh
2 clove garlic, minced
2 cups cilantro
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.Prepare a shallow baking dish with
nonstick pan spray.
Sprinkle the fish with lemon juice and place in the dish.Mince the
garlic in a food processor or blender. Add the cilantro; process until
minced. Add the oil, salt, and pepper flakes; process until well mixed.
(Alternatively, mince the garlic and cilantro by hand; stir in the oil,
salt, pepper until well blended.Spread the pesto evenly over the fish.
Bake 10 mins, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve hot.
