Serving

2 cups basil leaves
2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
2 tbsp extravirgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup (1 oz) grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
1 1/2 cups chopped plum tomato (about 3 medium)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
6 (6-oz) red snapper or other firm whitefish fillets
1/4 tsp salt

To prepare pesto, combine first 4 ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth. Add cheese and red pepper; process until blended. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Add tomato, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper, stirring gently to combine.
