Ingredients
  

Lemon Raspberry Sauce

  • 1 1/2 pints fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Limoneira lemon zest & juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons red wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Fish

  • 1 Limoneira lemon
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 4 fish fillets 6 ounces each
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil

Instructions
 

Lemon Raspberry Sauce

  • Separate about 1/2 cup of the raspberries from the rest, and chop them into two or three pieces. Set aside for now.
  • Add the remaining raspberries, balsamic vinegar, lemon zest and juice to a small bowl. Using the back of a spoon, or a fork, mash the raspberries as much as you can.
  • Transfer to a saucepan over a medium-high.
  • Stir in the honey, red wine, and smoked paprika as it comes to a boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • When it reaches boiling, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • You want the raspberries to break down, and the liquid to begin to reduce.
  • Strain the raspberry seeds and lemon zest from the mixture, and return to the heat. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. By this time, the liquid should be reduced to 1/2 to 3/4 cup.

Fish

  • Preheat oven to 375 °F.
  • Heat the oil in an ovenproof dish, browning each side for about 2 minutes. Squeeze half the lemon on the fish as it fries.
  • Squeeze the second half of the lemon over the fish, turning the fillet if you can without breaking to coat both sides.
  • Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve drizzled with the lemon raspberry sauce, and garnish with the remaining 1/2 cup chopped raspberries.

Notes

Note: The recipe assumes the fillets are at least 1/2-inch thick. Adjust the cooking time accordingly if they are much thinner.
