This rockfish recipe requires salsa verde. You can either use a jarred variety or homemade. We are going to make an easy homemade salsa verde to top the rockfish.

Let’s gather our salsa verde ingredients:
1 pound tomatillos
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 jalapeno peppers
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups water

Husk and dice your tomatillos. Place tomatillos, onion, garlic and chile pepper into saucepan.  Season with cilantro, oregano, cumin, and salt. Add water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the tomatillos are soft, 10-15 minutes.

If you prefer a thicker consistency, drain water. Using a blender or food processor, carefully puree the ingredients in water in batches until smooth.

Now we can gather our ingredients for the Rockfish Salsa Verde:
3 Rockfish
Chili powder
Ground cumin
Salt and pepper
Butter
Salsa verde, either homemade or jarred variety
Cilantro, chopped
