How To Make linguica crusted redfish with portuguse sauce

  • Step 1
    Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook while stirring, until the onions are golden, approx 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes and olives and cook, while stirring, until the sauce thickens, approx 25 minutes. Add the salt and pepper. Keep warm until it's ready to serve.
  • Step 2
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the linguica in a large skillet over medium heat, while stirring, for about 3 mintues. Add the bread crumbs and mix to bind sausage.
  • Step 3
    Season the fish with the Essence. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet, over high heat. Add the fish and sear until they are slightly golden, approx. 1-2 minutes on each side. Carefully drain off any excess oil. Put an equal portion of the linguica mixture on top of each fish fillet. Bake for about 5 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Arrange the fillets onto 8 serving plates. Spoon the suace over each.
