grilled "fish" with lemon pine nut sauce



making sure that i get enough protein throughout the week,
i usually snack on nuts mid day. what inspired me to make this dish was experimenting with incorporating nuts into my dishes. since i've recently become a fan of pine nuts, i thought this would be a good time to play with them in my food.

vegan "fish"
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic salt
kosher salt and pepper to taste
olive oil
two lemons
2 tbls vegan mayonnaise
1/2 tsp vegan butter
4-5 stalks of parsely
5 cloves of minced garlic
3 tbls of toasted pine nuts- toast raw pine nuts on medium heat for about 2-3 mins until golden brown. constantly stir pine nuts to avoid burining them.


*grilled fish*

1) in a shallow bowl, marinate "fish" for 30mins in the following ingredients-- paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice (1 whole lemon).

2) grill fish for about 3 mins each side.
