FISH WITH CUMIN PASTE 
1 1/2 lb. red snapper filets, or scrod
2 tbsp. ground cumin
2 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. salt
3 garlic cloves, cut into halves
3 tbsp. fresh cilantro, snipped

If fish filets are large, cut into serving pieces. Place fish in ungreased oblong baking dish 13 x 9 x 2 inches. Place remaining ingredients except cilantro in blender container. Cover and blend on high speed, scraping sides of blender occasionally, until smooth, about 30 seconds. Spread mixture evenly over fish. Cook uncovered in 350 degree oven until fish flakes easily with fork, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro; serve with lemon wedges, if desired. Serves 4.
