Cod With Romesco And Hazelnuts
- 1/3 cup blanched hazelnuts
- 8 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for salad
- 4 red bell peppers
- 1 medium tomato, halved crosswise, seeds removed
- 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
- 2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. hot smoked Spanish paprika
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 4 (6-oz.) skinless cod fillets
- 1 lemon
- 2 cups parsley leaves with tender stems
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Toast nuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 7-10 minutes; let cool. Lightly crush with a flat-bottomed glass. Mix in a small bowl with 2 Tbsp. oil; season with salt.
- Heat broiler. Broil peppers and tomato (skin side up) on a rimmed baking sheet, turning peppers occasionally, until skins are charred and flesh is softened, 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 350u0b0F.
- Transfer peppers to a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit 10 minutes. Remove skins and seeds from peppers; discard. Coarsely chop flesh. Remove tomato skin; discard. Smash peppers and tomato with a mortar and pestle, shielding the top with your other hand, until saucy (you can also pulse in a food processor). Transfer to a clean medium bowl and mix in garlic, vinegar, paprika, cayenne, and 4 Tbsp. oil; season romesco with salt. Let sit 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place fish on a rimmed baking sheet and rub with 2 Tbsp. oil; season both sides with salt. Bake until cooked through (a paring knife should easily slip through flesh), 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and finely grate some zest from lemon over.
- Cut lemon in half and squeeze 2 Tbsp. juice into a small bowl. Add parsley and a pinch of salt. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Spoon romesco onto plates, top with hazelnuts, then fish. Scatter parsley salad over.
