WHOLE FISH WITH LIME SALSA VERDE
Think of roasting a whole fish the same way you might think of roasting a whole chicken: an easy and delicious preparation that all cooks should have in their arsenal, and one that takes well to whatever ingredients you want to introduce. Here, those extra flavors are electric. The fish is stuffed with slices of lime and jalapeño, cilantro and scallion bottoms. An accompanying salsa is composed of more jalapeño, scallion tops, cilantro, lime juice and zest, as well as a dose of capers and garlic. The fish itself is simply oiled and seasoned, then roasted at 450 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, until it is opaque and flakes when pressed gently with a fork. (Each person you're feeding should get his or her own fish, weighing about one or one and a half pounds apiece.) Spoon the salsa on top, a streak of bright, spicy flavor for the delicate, moist fish.

Steps:
- To make the salsa: Coarsely chop 2/3 cup of cilantro leaves and transfer to a bowl. Thinly slice 2/3 cup of the dark green scallion tops and add to the bowl, reserving the bottoms. Seed and finely chop one of the jalapeños and add it to the bowl. Stir in the capers and garlic. Finely grate in the zest of 1 lime and squeeze in its juice. Stir in 1/2 cup oil. Season with black pepper. Cover and let stand until ready to use.
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Pat each fish dry and coat with 2 teaspoons oil. Generously season the outside and cavity of each fish with the salt and black pepper. Transfer fish to the prepared baking sheet.
- Thinly slice the remaining 2 limes and seed and slice the other jalapeño pepper. Divide the lime slices, jalapeño slices, remaining cilantro sprigs and scallion bottoms among each fish cavity. Bake until fish is just opaque and flakes when pressed gently with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve fish with salsa verde on top or alongside.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle fish inside and out with one tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on baking tray, set aside.
- Prepare the chilies. Using rubber gloves to protect your hands from the volatile oils, seed and core the chilies and place them inside up on a broiler tray. Char the skins under the broiler, place the chilies in a paper bag for a couple of minutes and when they have cooled, scrape off the skin. Cut the chilies in slices.
- Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and cook the onion with the garlic until softened. Add the chilies and cook 5 to 10 minutes, until soft, stirring occasionally.
- Roast the fish for about 20 minutes or until cooked.
- Meanwhile, combine the cilantro (reserving some for garnish) with the onion-chili mixture, the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Correct seasoning and set aside.
- When the fish is cooked, place in a serving dish and spread with the cilantro-chili oil. Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
