Preparation
Instructions: You can cook this dish over a chargrill, barbecue or under a conventional grill.
- Pre-heat whichever you are using to high.
- Meanwhile for the salsa, cut the chillies in half lengthways and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a small knife but leave the ribs behind to give the salsa a little more heat. Cut them across into thin slices.
- Mix all the salsa ingredients together.
- Brush the fish fillets on both sides with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
- Cut each one into 3, cutting slightly on the diagonal.
- Carefully slide a palette knife under each sliced fillet and place either skin side down over the chargrill or skin side up on an oiled baking sheet to go under the grill.
- Cook 3-4 minutes.
- To serve, spoon the salsa on to 4 plates and arrange the grilled strips of fish on top.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edge and garnish with coriander sprigs.
