PESCADO EN SALSA VERDE (FISH FILLETS IN GREEN SAUCE)

Steps:

• Blot the fillets dry--really dry--to avoid a watery sauce.
• In a blender, combine olive oil, wine, vinegar, parsley, onion, garlic, salt and pepper and blend on high until smooth.
• In a large skillet, arrange the fish snugly in a single layer and pour the sauce over the fish.
• If the fish won't fit in one layer, arrange the fish in two layers, pouring half the sauce over the first layer and the rest over the top.
• Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat.
• Immediately reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan and gently simmer the fish for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes when pierced with a fork.
• Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets; if they are thin, they will be done in less time.
