  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup lime juice (about 2-3 limes)

  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (do not substitute)
  • 5 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: To prepare sauce: in a food processor or blender place the first 7 ingredients (-5 tablespoons cilantro) and process until smooth (only a minute or two). With the blender/food processor running add the oil in a thin and steady stream until all the oil has been incorporated. Transfer sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use (extra sauce can be refrigerated for another use).

  • Step 2: To prepare fish: season the fish fillets with pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, heat the oil and then add the fish, turning once until fish is cooked through (depending on the thickness of the fish but usually under 10 minutes).

  • Step 3: Serve fish with a dollop of the sauce and a sprig of cilantro if desired.
