1 garlic clove
1 cup cilantro sprigs
1/2 cup almonds, toasted (or use hazelnuts, toasted and rubbed to remove skins)
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 lbs. arctic char, sliced into 4 fillets
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and place the rack in the middle of the oven.
In a food processor, add the garlic clove and finely chop. Stop the processor and add the cilantro, nuts, salt, pepper and cayenne. Blend the mixture until it is coarsely chopped. With the motor on, add the olive oil and blend until just incorporated. The pesto should still be coarse.
Place the arctic char fillets, skin side down, in a lightly oiled baking dish. Spoon the pesto on top of the fillets. Bake in the oven until opaque (just cooked through) about 15 minutes.
Serves 4
