Ingredients

  • 4 servings
  • 1 (5-lb.) or 2 (2 1/2-lb.) head-on whole fish (such as red snapper or black sea bass), cleaned
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup chaat masala, vadouvan, or tandoori spice
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for grill
  • 1 ripe but firm mango, peeled, cut into irregular 1 1/2″ pieces
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced, rinsed
  • 1 bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped (leaves and stems)
  • 3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

  1. Place fish on a cutting board and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. With a sharp knife, make slashes crosswise on a diagonal along the body every 2″ on both sides, cutting all the way down to the bones. Season fish generously inside and out with salt. Coat fish with spice mix, packing on more if needed (it should cover the entire fish, head to tail). Let sit at room temperature 20 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Clean and oil grate.

3. Drizzle both sides of fish with remaining 1/3 cup vegetable oil to coat. Grill fish undisturbed, 10 minutes. Lift up slightly from one edge to see if skin is puffed and lightly charred and easily releases from grate. If not quite ready, leave alone for another minute or so and try again. Once it is ready, gently slide 2 large metal spatulas underneath and turn over. Grill fish until the other side is lightly charred and skin is puffed, 8–12 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. Transfer to a platter.

4. Toss mango, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a big pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and toss again to coat. Scatter mango salad over fish and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

  • 10 prunes, pits removed, coarsely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 2 cups finely chopped parsley
  • 1 cup finely chopped mint
  • ¼ cup finely chopped tarragon
  • ¼ cup kimchi or sauerkraut brine

Fish and assembly:

  1. 3. Prepare a grill for medium heat. Using a chef’s knife, cleaver, or serrated knife, cut fish crosswise into 2″–4″-wide planks (the larger the fish, the wider the planks); halve planks if fish is large.

  4. Using a large fish spatula, turn fish over and grill until cooked through (fish is done when a paring knife easily pierces the flesh along the side), about 2 minutes.

Onion Marmelade & Cheddar Braai Broodjies

For more similar awesome winter braai salad recipes click here! more recipes…

Ingredients

  • 8 slices  ciabatta
  • 4 t/20 ml Dijon mustard
  • 4 T ( or more ) Red Onion marmalade
  • 1 x 100 g Cheddar – grated
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • 4 t butter

Red Onion Marmalade

  • 2kg red onions or regular onions
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 140g butter
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 140g golden caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaf
  • pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
  • 75cl bottle red wine
  • 350ml sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 200ml port

Directions

Red Onion Marmalade

  1. Halve and thinly slice the onions, then thinly slice the garlic. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Tip in the onions and garlic and give them a good stir so they are glossed with butter.
  2. Sprinkle over the sugar, thyme leaves, chilli flakes if using and some salt and pepper. Give everything another really good stir and reduce the heat slightly.
  3. Cook uncovered for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions are ready when all their juices have evaporated, they’re really soft and sticky and smell of sugar caramelising. They should be so soft that they break when pressed against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. Slow cooking is the secret of really soft and sticky onions, so don’t rush this part.
  4. Pour in the wine, vinegar and port and simmer everything, still uncovered, over a high heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring every so often until the onions are a deep mahogany colour and the liquid has reduced by about two-thirds.
  5. It’s done when drawing a spoon across the bottom of the pan clears a path that fills rapidly with syrupy juice. Leave the onions to cool in the pan, then scoop into sterilised jars and seal.
  6. Can be eaten straight away, but keeps in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Ingredients

  • 1 small trout, cleaned
  • 1 dash sea salt, or kosher salt
  • 2 limes, plus wedges for serving
  • 1 cup vegetable oil, for deep-frying

For the Sauce:

  • 1/2 tablespoon tamarind paste
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 heaping teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 thumb-sized piece galangal, or ginger, peeled and sliced

  • 1 to 2 fresh red chiles, minced, deseeded for less heat
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, deseeded and diced

Directions

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Pat fish dry. Make 2 to 3 diagonal cuts on the side of the fish (with the blade of the knife on an angle facing the head). The cuts should be several inches apart.
  3. Squeeze the juice of 1 to 2 limes over and inside fish. Sprinkle surface with sea salt and set aside while you prepare the sauce.

  5. Pour the sauce into a saucepan. Add the diced pepper and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 to 8 minutes. Taste the sauce for salt and sweet-sour balance, adding more fish sauce if not salty enough, and more sugar if you find it too sour. Cover and keep warm while you cook the fish.

Allow to grill or fry about 5 minutes on each side, or until the flesh has browned and flakes easily. Don’t flip the fish too early, or the skin will stick to the pan/barbecue. Allow it to cook at least 2 minutes before turning.

Fish Grilling Tips

  • Make sure your grill is nice and clean before starting.
  • Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates. Fold up a paper towel into a square and saturate it with oil. Use a pair of tongs to rub the oil on the hot grill grates.
  • Don’t flip the fish until it’s completely cooked on the bottom side. This will help it separate from the grill.
  • Use a large, flat metal spatula (or two) to flip the fish. If you’re not sure if it’s done, use an instant-read thermometer. The internal temperature should be 65c.
