Recipe: Fish Skewers with Cilantro Pesto
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 14 oz (400 g) firm-fleshed fish (salmon, swordfish, tuna, cod...)
- 2 tbsp ras-el-hanout
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3.5 oz (100 g) sesame seeds
- 3 g fleur de sel
- 1/2 bunch cilantro
- 2 small spring onions
- 1.4 oz (40 g) pine nuts
- 0.3 cup (6 cl) olive oil
Step-by-step directions
1 For the gomasio (a Japanese condiment that replaces salt): dry toast the sesame seeds in a pan over low heat.
2 Crush them in a mortar and pestle while adding the fleur de sel. Set aside.
3 For the pesto: blend the cilantro, spring onions, pine nuts, and oil. Set aside.
4 For the skewers: cut 4 cm cubes from the fish and coat them with ras-el-hanout.
5 Thread 4 to 5 fish cubes onto each skewer.
6 Heat the olive oil on the plancha and cook the skewers on each side.
7 Serve by sprinkling the skewers with a few pinches of gomasio. Store the rest in an airtight container and use it for other purposes as a seasoning. Serve with the pesto.
