ingredients

6 cloves garlic
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 medium red bell peppers, seeded and diced
1 cup cubed Italian bread, including crust
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

directions

Place garlic, cilantro, orange juice, lime juice, oil, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper in blender and whirl to puree. Pour off half to use as a marinade for salmon, firm white fish such as snapper, bass, or cod, salmon, or shrimp.

To the rest of the marinade in the blender, add the bell pepper, bread cubes, paprika, and cayenne. Whirl until mixture is a loose, very finely chopped sauce.

Use like salsa, to accompany the grilled seafood. Also makes a good dressing for a crisp salad of romaine lettuce, cucumber and tomato, and dip with celery sticks.
