Fish With Pesto Cream Sauce @ Andrea's
Pesto--the blend of chopped basil, parsley, and garlic with Parmesan cheese, butter, and pine nuts--is most often used as a cool sauce for hot pasta. Or as a coating for birds. Chef Andrea Apuzzo has long used a creamy version of the stuff as a sauce for fish. The best such is pompano, but it works with any light-colored fish. There's a little vermouth in there, too. I keep thinking a touch of Strega might be interesting in it.
