I really love this pesto on fish, I like salmon but you could use any fish you like. Its nice served with simple baby potatoes and perhaps some mesclun or rocket with a seeded mustard dressing Ingredients:
35 g roasted unsalted peanuts |
2 red chilies, chopped coarsely (can take out seeds) |
1 stalk fresh lemongrass, chopped coarsely |
1/2 cup tightly packed fresh coriander leaves |
80 virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
extra oil, for shallow frying |
1 kg salmon fillet |
Directions:
1. Blend the 1st 6 ingredients together until mixture becomes a paste.
2. Cover the pesto and refrigerate until required.
3. Heat enough oil or use oil spray on the base of large pan.
4. Cook fish on both sides until cooked as you desire it.
5. Serve the fish topped with the pesto.
