Pollock fillet with nut sauce
6 servings
60 minutes
A recipe with Spanish motifs - the Spanish usually bake fillets of their beloved cod in nut romesco sauce. Pollock, as a representative of the same family, looks no paler, it is only important to rub all the ingredients for the sauce in a blender until the consistency is almost like sour cream. Then the nutty fat and crunchiness will mix with the tenderness and baked sweetness of the peppers, and in such an environment any budget fish will look good.
1
Prepare all the ingredients.
2
Place the peppers on a baking sheet and send them to a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 35-40 minutes; the peppers should become soft and the skin should puff up and char.
- Red sweet pepper: 2 pieces
3
Cut the crust off the bread, slice it into small pieces, drizzle with olive oil and place on another baking tray. Next to it (but not mixing) place the hazelnuts. Send to the oven 15 minutes before taking out the peppers.
- White bread: 2 pieces
- Olive oil: 4 tablespoons
- Hazelnut: 50 g
4
Transfer the peppers to a bowl and let them cool under plastic wrap or a lid. This will help the skin come off better. Then peel the peppers from their skin and seeds.
- Red sweet pepper: 2 pieces
5
Slightly cool the hazelnuts, place them in a bag and squeeze well with your hands to remove the shell. Alternatively, you can transfer them to a large bowl, cover it and shake; the effect will be the same.
