I asked the fishmonger to cut the fish into cutlets for this. Having the bone in helps hold the meat together and keep it moist.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 80 ml olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cm piece ginger, minced
- Juice 2 limes
- 1 tbsp honey
- Pinch of salt
- 4 120g wahoo or cod cutlets (vertically cut fish with bone in centre)
- ½ bunch spring onions, very finely sliced
- 2 sprigs coriander, stems and leaves finely chopped
Instructions
1. Add the oils, garlic and ginger to a small saucepan and cook over a very low heat for 3 minutes (the aim is to just warm the oil up to blood temperature). Remove from the heat. Add the lime juice and honey and a pinch of salt.
2. Heat a grill pan over a high heat (you could also cook the fish on a barbecue).
3. Drizzle a little of the flavoured oil over the fish, coating both sides, and season with salt and pepper. Sear the fish for 2 minutes on one side and then turn over and sear for a further two minutes. Remove fish and place on a platter. Add the spring onions and coriander to the oil and then drizzle over the fish.
