GREEN SAUCE FOR FISH

Steps:

FRIED COD WITH GREEN PEPPERS

Steps:

• Peel green onion and julienne. Clean peppers, remove stems and seeds and cut into strips.
• Without peeling them, crush garlic cloves with broad side of chef's knife.
• Heat oil in large frying pan, add garlic cloves (still unpeeled) and fry until they start to turn golden. Transfer garlic to plate, peel and reserve.
• Add cod to pan and fry 3 minutes each side. If the skin is still on, it's very important not to fry the skin side first. Fry the side with no skin first. After frying remove from pan, place on plate.
• Add green onion and pepper to pan, add salt to taste and cook 12 minutes on med-low heat.
• Return fish to pan with any liquid on the plate (the fish will release some liquid while it sits), also return peeled garlic to pan and cook on medium-low heat for 1 minute.
• Serve fish and vegetables together.

SWORDFISH WITH SOMALI CILANTRO AND GREEN CHILE PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: In the jar of a blender or in a food processor, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, vinegar, cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, sugar, and salt and puree until smooth. Season the sauce to taste with more lime juice or salt if needed. Serve immediately or place in a jar and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• For the swordfish: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the swordfish dry and season with salt. Add the olive oil to the skillet. When the oil is hot, add the swordfish and cook until golden on the underside, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. To serve, mound the cabbage on serving plates and top with the swordfish. Drizzle with some of the cilantro and green chile sauce.

FIVE-PEPPERCORN FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Put all the peppercorns in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Warm them, shaking the pan, until fragrant, a minute or two. Cool, then transfer to a mortar or electric spice mill. Pound with a pestle or pulse in the spice mill, shaking, to obtain a coarse powder. Reserve 1 tablespoon peppercorn mixture and store remainder.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon peppercorn mixture and swirl pan until foamy and beginning to brown. Add sage leaves and a good pinch of salt. Set aside, off the heat.
• Season fish fillets on both sides with salt and dust very lightly with flour. Put a wide cast-iron skillet over high heat and coat bottom with olive oil.
• When oil is hot, lay the fillets in the pan and let them brown gently, turning down heat as necessary. After 2 minutes, flip fish and cook until no longer translucent when probed, about 2 minutes more. Transfer fish to a warm platter or individual plates.
• Return butter sauce to stove over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and add citrus zest and juice. Stir well, then spoon sauce over fish and serve immediately.
