How To Make spanish picada fish fillets

Step 1

To make the fish, generously season the fillets with salt and black pepper; set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add butter and when it starts sizzling, place fillets, seasoned side down; season the top with salt and pepper.
Step 3

Grill them for 2 to 2 ½ minutes per side.
Step 4

Pour in lemon juice and add lemon zest. Gently stir and then remove from the heat.
Step 5

To make the sauce, add the picada and heavy cream to a saucepan over medium heat; stir until nicely blended.
Step 6

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer or until just warm enough – don’t overheat or it will separate.
Step 7

Remove from the heat and spoon the sauce over the fish fillets.
Step 8

Add diced pimento and sprinkle on chopped parsley. Serve immediately with rice and a couple lemon wedges.
