How to make white fish with cilantro pesto

  • Pesto:
    • Into the blender or food processor go the cilantro, oil and garlic. Pulse until mixture is smooth.
    • Add the tomato and pulse just a few times. The mixture should be chunky.
    • Put the cilantro mixture in a bowl and mix in the orange juice, vinegar salt and pine nuts.
    • Set aside until ready to serve.
    • The pesto is best if made just before you prepare the fish.
    • It should be served at room temperature.
  • Fish:
    • Sprinkle the fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
    • Over medium heat, melt the oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet.
    • Add the fillets and cook about 3 minutes on each side until they are opaque throughout.
    • Serve fillets topped with a spoonful of pesto.
