To make the Romesco sauce, place all of the sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, season the fish with salt and pepper and add the pieces (presentation side down) to the pan.
