TOASTED CUMIN SAUCE FOR FISH
Steps:
- In a small pan, over a medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the cumin seeds and toast them 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic (cook a minute to release oils) then add, oregano, salt and pepper and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the orange and lime juices.
- The sauce is best used immediately, but will keep for a few days in the refrigerator.
- Use as a finishing sauce for grilled seafood, such as halibut or salmon.
PAN-FRIED CUMIN-CHILE CRUSTED FISH
This only serves 2 but can easily be increased to serve how many servings you need. Although the original recipe suggests using snapper, other white fish such as Tilapia or Grouper can be used. When I made this I used Tilapia, as it is more readily available where I live. As there is not much oil used to cook the fish, it best to use a bit of Pam in the skillet or a non-stick pan, as the fish tends to stick. Recipe source: local newspaper
