Step 1
In the base of a food processor, add roasted red peppers, diced tomatoes, almonds, garlic, red wine vinegar & 2 tbsp of olive oil per serving. Season with salt, pepper & a few shakes of smoked paprika if you have. Grind everything together until there is a rustic, slightly grainy texture from the finely chopped almonds. Set aside.
Step 2
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. For a cast iron grill, make sure it's greased or seasoned beforehand! Pat the cod dry with a paper towel. Season all over with salt, smoked paprika & pepper. Drizzle with olive oil & rub to evenly coat.
Step 3
Grill the cod for about 4 min, undisturbed. Use a spatula to carefully lift the cod off the grill, if it does not easily release, leave it for 1-2 more min. Flip the cod & finish cooking for about 2-4 more min. Remove from the heat.
Step 4
Spread the Romesco on the a serving dish. Place the grilled cod on top. Serve along with warm or toasted pita & mixed salad greens. Dress the salad to your liking, we added a drizzle of olive oil & a splash of red wine vinegar. Season with salt & pepper. Enjoy!
