Description
Fresh cod grilled to perfection and topped with a bright, smoky romesco sauce made from charred red pepper, tomato, and almonds — a simple yet special weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 tomato
- 1/4 cup almonds
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. Pat the cod fillets dry, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the red bell pepper and tomato until charred (about 8–10 minutes). Remove to a bowl and cover for 10 minutes. Peel skins and blend with almonds, garlic, vinegar, and paprika until smooth, adding remaining olive oil.
- Oil grill grates, cook cod for 4–5 minutes per side until opaque and flakes easily.
- Plate the cod, top with romesco sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Serve with sides like roasted potatoes or green beans. The sauce also doubles as a dip.
