Title: Salmon or Halibut in a Vibrant Sauce
Categories: Fish Salmon
Yield: 1 Servings

1/4	c	Chopped fresh cilantro
3	tb	Chopped fresh ginger
2	tb	Coarsely chopped garlic
2		Jalapeno peppers, seeded and
		Coarsely chopped
3	tb	Lime juice
1	tb	Vegetable oil, preferably
		Canola oil
1/2	ts	Salt
1/4	ts	Turmeric
1 1/4	lb	Salmon or halibut fillet,
		Cut into 2-by-2-inch pieces

Using a food processor or a mortar and pestle, grind cilantro, ginger, garlic and jalapenos until blended into a smooth paste, adding a little water if necessary. Add lime juice, oil, salt, and turmeric and mix well.

Transfer to a shallow glass or ceramic dish, add the fish pieces and toss in this marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 5-10 min.

Coat the bottom of a large nonstick skillet with 3-4 T of the marinade. Transfer the fish to the skillet and cover with the remaining marinade. Cover the skillet and place over medium-low heat. Cook gently until the interior of the fish is opaque, 5-10 min. (Cooking time will vary with the thickness of the fillet.)

(Alternatively, cover the dish used for marinating with vented plastic wrap and microwave on high power for 5-8 min, rotating once, or until the interior of the fish is opaque.)

To be served with swiss chard - sweet pepper stirfry
