Step by Step guide

Step 1

Chop the walnuts in a blender until crumbly. Soak the bread in water, removing the crust first, then lightly squeeze it, break it into pieces, and place it in the blender along with the chopped garlic. Blend well. Mix the oil and lemon juice, and very slowly, while continuously blending, pour it into the blender. Season with spices and transfer to a sauceboat.

Step 2

Heat a skillet, lightly grease it with oil, and fry the fish for 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. If you have a lot of fish and are cooking in batches, keep the first batch warm by placing it in a slightly heated oven.
