Blackened fish with mango salsa

Ingredients

  1. 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  2. 1 tbsp olive oil
  3. 2 tsp Cajun spice mix (we like Bart Cajun Seasoning)
  4. ½ tsp dried oregano
  5. Grated zest and juice of ½ lime, plus wedges to serve
  6. 4 x 150g MSC-certified skin-on white fish fillets such as pollock, whiting or coley
  7. 2 little gem lettuce hearts, broken into leaves, or other salad leaves
  8. For the mango salsa
  9. 200g fresh mango (about 1 large mango), peeled and roughly chopped, or ready diced mango
  10. 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
  11. Handful of fresh coriander leaves
  12. Grated zest and juice of ½ lime

Method

  1. 1. Mix the garlic, olive oil, spice mix, oregano, and the lime zest and juice to make a paste. Lightly score the skin of the fish, then rub all over with the paste until well coated.
  2. 2. Heat a large griddle or non-stick frying pan until hot. Cook the fillets skin-side down for 2-3 minutes until blackened, then turn over and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side.
  3. 3. Meanwhile, mix the mango, spring onions, coriander, and lime zest and juice. Serve the fish with the green leaves, mango salsa and extra lime wedges to squeeze over.
