Fish in Pine Nut SauceLeigh Beisch

Merluza en salsa de piñones

Many Spanish fish dishes call for sauces made with almonds, hazelnuts, or pine nuts, sometimes in combination with tomatoes and saffron. While hake or monkfish is traditionally used for this Catalan dish, you can substitute cod, sea bass, flounder, or another firm white fish.

Wine

Spanish: Chardonnay/blend (Penedès, Tarragona), dry amontillado sherry (Jerez)
Non-Spanish: Rousanne/blend (France, California), Chardonnay (Argentina, New Zealand)
