Fish and Zucchini with Herb Paste

Serves 2, Prep time: 15 minutes, Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

6 scallions, chopped
1 C packed fresh cilantro
½ C packed fresh mint
3 T olive oil
1 T peeled and chopped fresh ginger (from one ¾ inch piece)
¾ t ground coriander (optional)
Coarse sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
4 C zucchini spears ¾ inch thick
2-4 (total 14 oz) skinless firm white fish fillets such as hake or cod

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Pulse scallions, cilantro, mint, oil, ginger, coriander, and salt in food processor until a coarse paste forms. Season with pepper. Toss zucchini with 3 T herb mixture in a bowl. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 5 minutes. Pat remaining paste onto both sides of fish fillets. (Leftover paste may be stored in refrigerator for a few days.) Push zucchini to edges of baking sheet and arrange fish in center, leaving about ½ inch between fillets. Roast until fish is opaque and semi-firm to touch, about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
