Ingredients

Sauce

  • ½ bunch parsley, washed and trimmed
  • ½ bunch cilantro, washed and trimmed 
  • 3 sprigs oregano, washed (leaves only) 
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
  • ¼ tsp (1 mL) hot pepper flakes 
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup (125 mL) canola oil

Fish

  • 4 haddock or cod fillets (1 lb./500 g)
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice
  • ½ cup (125 mL) dry whole-wheat bread crumbs 

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, pulse together parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, and hot pepper flakes. Add vinegar and canola oil; pulse until smooth but still slightly chunky. (Remaining sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
  2. In a shallow dish add bread crumbs. Brush fillets all over with lemon juice; dip into crumb mixture, turning to coat all over.
  3. Place on a greased baking sheet; broil for about 5 minutes or until fish is opaque, golden and flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with sauce.
