Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

Combine first 4 ingredients in blender and puree until smooth. Heat oil in medium saucepan over high heat. Pour in puree, salt, cumin. and cinnamon, and boil about 7 minutes. Skim and discard foam from top. Pour in orange juice, reduce heat, stir, and cook 1 minute longer. Strain, if desired, return to pan and beat in 2 Tbs butter until smooth (butter can be omitted). Season fish all over with salt and pepper. Melt 2 Tbs butter in skillet over high heat. Sear fish 2 minutes per side, then reduce heat and cook 2 minutes more per side. Serve topped with sauce.
