This recipe showcases Opah’s mild and sweet, yet rich flavor. The simple chutney serves as a great compliment to the fish; very bright, flavorful and fresh but not over powering.
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2-6oz pieces of Opah
- 4 scallions, sliced
- 1-2 clove of garlic, chopped
- ½ cup of basil
- 1/3 cup of mint leaves
- ¼ cup parsley
- Juice of one lemon
- 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil plus a little extra to rub on fish
- ¼ cup of water
- 1 tsp of honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Combine scallions, garlic and salt in a food processor and blend until everything is minced up.
-
Add in basil, mint, and parsley and pulse until it’s all minced down (you may have to do this in batches).
-
Add olive oil and blend until it’s all combined. Then add water, lemon juice and honey.
-
Give it a taste…does it need more salt? Maybe a little more water? You decide!! Once you’ve got it right set it aside while you grill up your fish.
-
Pre-heat your grill on high for about ten minutes.
-
Rub each piece of fish with a little olive oil and then season with salt and pepper.
-
Place fish on a pre heated medium high grill and allow to cook about four to five minutes on each side or until cooked thru.
-
Top with chutney and enjoy!
