Sauce for broiled or sauteed fish from John Philcox’s Le Bistro

Ingredients:

  • 4 TB extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 TB  whole dried coriander seed finely crushed in mortar and pestle
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 TB fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp  fresh tarragon, minced, or 1 tsp dried
  • 1 tsp dried chervil, crumbled
  • 1 large tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 2 TB fresh lemon juice
  • S&P

Recipe:

  1. Beat olive oil, coriander seed, garlic, and herbs with electric mixer for one minute. Gradually add tomato and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes:

Put a large spoonful of the sauce on the plate and place the fish on top. I like this best with lightly breaded and sauteed fish like striped bass. It is too rich for sword or tuna, but works well with cod or flounder.
