Instructions
- Combine the nuts, garlic, spinach, and arugula in a food processor and puree. Next add the lemon zest, juice, oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional); puree until smooth. Divide pesto into two bowls and set aside or refrigerate.
- Place fish in a baking dish. Using pesto from one bowl, gently brush pesto on fish, flip to coat other side. Cover and place in refrigerator to marinade for 30 minutes.
