Pescado con Vino - White Wine-Marinated Fish

🧂 Ingredients

• 680 g sole fillets - MSC Certified

  (or similar MSC certified variety - see notes)
• 1 tbsp olive oil

  for frying
• 18 corn tortillas

  for serving (optional)
• 1/2 cup dry white wine

  (I used Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1.5 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp fresh oregano

  chopped
• 2 serrano peppers

  seeded and minced
• 6 large scallions

  white/light green portions only, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 large red onion

  thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup dry white wine

  (see above)
• 1 tsp fresh oregano

  chopped
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

• 1 Combine the thinly sliced onions with the remaining ingredients in a large
  container.  Shake to combine and set aside for at least one hour and up to
  overnight.  The colour and flavour improves with time, so don't be afraid to
  make these well before you need them.
• 2 Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl.  Lay fillets out in a large dish
  or plastic bag and pour the marinade over them.  Cover and let stand for 1 hour.
• 3 Remove the fish fillets from the marinade, brushing off clinging scallions and
  oregano.  Keep the marinade too cook in the next section.
• 4 Preheat a large skillet with 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.  Add the
  fillets a few at a time without crowding the pan.  Cook until slightly browned
  and nearly cooked through (see note if using a thicker fish fillet), then flip
  and cook for about 2 more minutes.  Repeat with remaining fillets.
• 5 Once the fish is done, remove it from the pan and add the reserved
  marinade/salsa.  Bring it to a low simmer, then cook for an additional minute. 
  Remove from heat and set aside to serve over the fish.
• 6 Heat the corn tortillas in a skillet.  Serve pieces of fish in tacos with onions
  and the finished wine salsa.  Alternatively, put all of the fish in a serving
  tray and scatter with onions and salsa then serve family-style along with
  tortillas, rice, or another side of your choice.
