For romesco sauce
1/3 cup whole blanched almonds, toasted
1 slice firm white sandwich bread, crust discarded and bread torn into pieces
2 large garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/2 cup coarsely chopped drained bottled roasted red peppers
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 (6-ounce) pieces grouper fillet
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Make sauce:

  • Make fish:
