Pescado a La Bilbaina (Seared Fish W/ Sherry Vinegar)
- 2 (6 ounce) white fish fillets, with skin on (two 6 ounce filets of Tai snapper or other mild fish)
- kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 12 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves, sliced

- 2 teaspoons sherry wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons minced Italian parsley
- Sprinkle a generous amount of kosher salt on both sides of the fish filets.
- Heat skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and spread it across the entire skillet.
- When it's hot, add the fillets with the skin side down.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook fish until it turns from opaque to white (approximately 8-10 minutes for most fillets).
- You may cover the skillet to complete the cooking process if you need to.
- When the fish flesh has mostly turned white, pour 2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil into a small saucepan along with the chile pieces and sliced garlic.
- Heat on medium-low until the garlic begins to sizzle and become golden in color.
- Do not let the garlic brown.
- Transfer the fish fillets carefully to two dinner plates using a spatula.
- Immediately splash each fillet with 1 teaspoon of sherry vinegar.
- Then spoon the hot oil/garlic/chile mixture over each piece of fish.
- Garnish with minced parsley and serve.
