Instructions
In a food processor, puree the whole grapes. Pass the puree through a coarse sieve into a large bowl.
Add the quartered grapes, scallions, garlic, chiles and Sriracha to the bowl and toss.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Season half of the fillets with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet, skinned side up. Cook over high heat until the fillets are golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
Transfer the fillets to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining oil and fillets.
Transfer the fish to the oven and cook until just white throughout.
Add the cilantro and vinegar to the grape salsa and season with salt.
Transfer the fish to plates; spoon the salsa on top and serve.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Cod. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. One wine you could try is Loveblock Pinot Gris. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 24 dollars.
Loveblock Pinot Gris
Loveblock Pinot Gris is a pale golden with hints of green. The 2013 vintage is a dry style with floral aromas and a hint of ripe pineapple. The palate reveals poached pear and blood orange, and finishes with a touch of citrus, good texture and rich mouth feel.
