Pescado a La Bilbaína (Seared Fish W/ Sherry Vinegar)
- Ready In:
- 17mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 2 (6 ounce) white fish fillets, with skin on (two 6 ounce filets of Tai snapper or other mild fish)
- kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 1⁄2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 small dried red chili, seeds removed, broken into small pieces
- 2 teaspoons sherry wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons minced Italian parsley
directions
- Sprinkle a generous amount of kosher salt on both sides of the fish filets.
- Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and spread it across the entire skillet. When it's hot, add the fillets with the skin side down.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook fish until it turns from opaque to white (approximately 8-10 minutes for most fillets). You may cover the skillet to complete the cooking process if you need to.
- When the fish flesh has mostly turned white, pour 2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil into a small saucepan along with the chile pieces and sliced garlic. Heat on medium-low until the garlic begins to sizzle and become golden in color. Do not let the garlic brown.
- Transfer the fish fillets carefully to two dinner plates using a spatula. Immediately splash each fillet with 1 teaspoon of sherry vinegar. Then spoon the hot oil/garlic/chile mixture over each piece of fish.
- Garnish with minced parsley and serve.

I love cooking and always have. I learned how to cook as a young kid and I've worked as a prep cook for a catering company and for a restaurant though I am no longer working in that industry.
Being a food lover, it was an unpleasant surprise to develop major food intolerances within the past few years. I've been 100% gluten-free since 07/06 out of medical necessity and am cutting down on dairy and soy since they make me ill in large quantities. I'm also working on becoming kosher. So, you'll see reflected in my recipes my recent interest in developing recipes that are both kosher and suitable for people with food allergies, without sacrificing taste. And there's lots of good stuff in my cookbooks for those of you with no food allergies, too, of course!
My areas of specialty are gluten-free baking and cooking, dairy substitution, vegan and vegetarian dishes, and Jewish cooking.
