Recipe(tried): Halibut with Cilantro and Green Pepper Sauce and Garlic Potatoes

Dearest Dianne: Here is one of my favorite recipes for HALIBUT. Also you can serve it grilled with Ali-Oli Sauce. Here I am including a potato recipe as accompaniment. I am going to check my recipes to post any other that I consider is worth trying.

HALIBUT WITH CILANTRO AND GREEN PEPPER SAUCE:
Adapted from a recipe by Penelope Casas
Serves 4.

1/2 tsp salt
2 garlic cloves
2 slices green bell pepper (or red bell pepper)
1 cup chopped cilantrillo (Chinese parsley)
1/2 cup olive oil
3tb. Balsamic Vinegar; a pinch of sugar.

Prepare the sauce in a mortar, by crushing it, or in the food processor as mayonnaise. It is a beautiful green sauce. Can be used for grilled fish or chicken breasts.

2 pounds halibut filets, cut in 4 portions.
Salt and pepper.

Arrange the fish in a greased (well-oiled) baking dish or earthenware casserole that can go to the oven. Spoon the sauce under and over the fish. Bake in a 450 F oven for 8 minutes to each inch of thickness. Serve with some of the sauce spooned over it.

GARLIC POTATOES:

3 tb olive oil
4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced in 1/8 inches slices
salt and pepper to taste
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2tb cilantrillo (Chinese parsley)
1/2 tsp. Sweet paprika
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp. broth or water.

Heat the oil in a 9 inch skillet; arrange the potato slices in layers, sprinkling them with salt and ground white pepper to taste.. Turn the potatoes coating them with the oil. Lower heat to medium low, cover and cook until potatoes are tender (15 to 20 minutes) turning occasionally. Process the garlic, cilantrillo, paprika, cumin and broth or water, adding more if necessary, until it forms a very light sauce or paste. Mix lightly with the potatoes and serve.
