How to Make Fish With Spicy Herb Sauce

  1. In a food processor or blender, combine 1/2 cup packed fresh coriander, 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley, 4 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 6 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth.
  2. Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil (about 2 cups) in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  3. Dredge the fish fillets (about 1 pound) in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess. Carefully place the fish in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the cooked fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Divide the fish among 4 plates and drizzle generously with the herb sauce. Serve immediately.
