Categories Fish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds Alaskan cod fillets
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups cilantro leaves (some stems are okay - you don't have to pick off each leaf the way you do with parsley)
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or whole)
Lemon wedges for garnish

Steps:

1. To make the sauce, coarsely chop the cilantro and the parsley leaves. In a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic with a pinch of salt. Place the cilantro and parsley in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until finely chopped. Add the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, about 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and the yogurt and process until the mixture is smooth and green. Transfer to a bowl. 2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper and lay on the foil. Place a pan of just boiled water on the floor of your oven and place the baking sheet with the fish in the oven on the middle rack. Bake 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque on the surface and you can pull it apart with a fork. 3. Remove the fish from the oven, transfer to plates or a platter, and spoon on the sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges, and serve.
