Serves 6 to 8.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole fish, (about 4 to 5 pounds, cleaned)
• 6 sprigs coriander
• 15 crushed garlic cloves
• 1 cup of olive oil
• ½ cup of ground walnuts
• ½ cup of fresh lemon juice
• Cayenne pepper
• Salt
• Pepper

How to make the Fish Recipe

Rub the fish well inside and outside with the salt. Then pound the coriander with the garlic, season with pepper and rub the inside of the fish with this mixture. If necessary tie the fish with a cotton string to close the opening. Then put the fish on a piece of aluminum foil, pour the oil and wrap the foil around the fish. Then place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes, or until the fish is tender.

While it is cooking, blend the walnuts, lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne pepper to a smooth sauce. Place the fish on a warmed platter and serve the sauce separately in a gravy boat.
