Mediterranean Sea Bass with Peanut Romesco Sauce
Romesco is a nutty, red pepper based sauce often served with fish in Spanish cuisine. If you have any leftover Romesco sauce, it is delicious drizzled over grilled and toasted whole grain bread, grilled vegetables, chicken, or even thinned out with pasta cooking water as a pasta sauce.

¼ cup unsalted peanuts
¼ cup parsley
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika

⅓ cup olive oil
For the Sea Bass:
1 tablespoon olive oil

- To make the Romesco sauce, add all sauce ingredients to a food processor and blend until well combined.

- Garnish the fish with fresh parsley and lemon slices, if desired, then top the fish with Romesco sauce.
