👨‍🍳 Method

For the Herb Sauce

  1. 1
    Grind the parsley and cilantro in a blender' with the garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, paprika, salt and black pepper', to a smooth sauce that still has some texture.
    ⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorBlender
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)

To assemble

  1. 2
    Pat the fish thoroughly dry with paper towels and sprinkle the salt, black pepper and cumin over the top.
  2. 3
    Heat the olive oil in a heavy pan over high heat.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveFrying pan
    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  3. 4
    Lay the fish in the pan in a single layer and fry 3–4 minutes.
