2 lbs red or black seedless grapes, 1 lb quartered
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 small garlic cloves, minced
½ fresh red chile, such as Fresno, seeded and minced
½ fresh green chile, such as serrano or jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 tbsp Sriracha chile sauce
2 tbsp vegetable oil
10 5-oz skinless black cod fillets (also known as sablefish)
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1½ tbsp white wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Servings: 10
1 Preheat the oven to 350℉.
2 In a food processor, purée the whole grapes. Pass the purée through a coarse sieve into a large bowl. Add the quartered grapes, scallions, garlic, chiles, and Sriracha to the bowl and toss.
3 In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil until shimmering.
4 Season half of the fillets with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet, skinned side up. Cook over high heat until the fillets are golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
5 Transfer the fillets to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining oil and fillets. Transfer the fish to the oven and cook until just white throughout.
6 Add the cilantro and vinegar to the grape salsa and season with salt. Transfer the fish to plates; spoon the salsa on top and serve.
Note: The salsa can stand at room temperature for up to 2 hours. The seared fish can be kept on the baking sheet for up to 30 minutes. Finish in the oven before serving.
