For the mango salsa

Method

  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. 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. 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.
