Method
 

Preparation
  1. Roast the red bell peppers under a broiler for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and soft. Peel the skin off and place the peppers in a food processor with toasted almonds, garlic, crusty bread, sherry vinegar, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth, adding olive oil gradually until thickened.
  2. Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F or 232°C). Pat the cod steaks dry and brush with olive oil. Season with smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
  3. Grill the cod steaks for 3-4 minutes on one side until opaque and flaky. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. Remove from grill, let rest for a minute, then top with Romesco sauce, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
