I grilled fish last weekend and had it along with grilled vegetables and Spanish rice. I used cod, but you can use halibut, tilapia, haddock or any other flaky white fish.

 

 

Grilled Cod in Cilantro Sauce

 

Ingredients:

4 Cod fillets

Marinade:

2 garlic cloves – chopped

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground pepper

Cilantro sauce:

2 garlic cloves

1 inch piece of ginger

1 cup fresh cilantro

1 hot chilli pepper (e.g. Thai chilli)

1 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar

1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar

10-15 curry leaves (optional)

2 tablespoon light coconut milk

2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Lemon – cut into slices

Method:

Mix the marinade ingredients and pour over the fish in a non-reactive container and shake to mix. Marinade for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.

For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a blender and mix till smooth.

Heat the grill to medium high – 400* F. Oil the grate with olive oil. Take the fish out of the marinade, make a couple of slits on top of each piece and then pour the marinade over. Add 2 slices of lemon over each piece and grill for about 5-6 minutes per side. Baste with olive oil and extra sauce – but do not overcook! Serve warm.

(Alternatively you can broil in the oven for 10-12 minutes).
