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