Spiced garfish fillets with tomato salsa and crisp capers

Garfish, also known as ‘sea noodle’, are long and slender in shape and live close to the water’s surface. They cook very quickly and can be grilled, fried, smoked, baked or barbecued.

Preparation time: 12 minutes

Cooking time: 14 minutes

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

• 4 butterflied garfish fillets
• 2 tsps adobo seco (for recipe, see adobo seco prawn salad P96)
• 3 tblsps extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tblsps baby capers

SALSA

• 2 tblsps red wine vinegar
• 6 tblsps extra virgin olive oil
• Salt flakes and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• 1 tomato, quartered, seeded and diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 2 spring onions, sliced into 5mm pieces
• 1 small yellow capsicum, seeds removed, cut into 5mm dice
• 2 tblsps parsley, coarsely chopped

METHOD:

Combine together the adobo seco spice mix with two tablespoons of olive oil and brush onto the garfish fillets. Refrigerate until required. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a small frypan, add in the drained capers and toss until crisp. Remove to a kitchen-paper-lined plate and allow to cool.

Place the vinegar, olive oil and seasoning into a bowl and whisk together. Add in the remaining salsa ingredients and gently combine.

Place a ribbed skillet pan onto the heat and add in a little olive oil. Cook the garfish fillets for approximately two minutes on each side or until just cooked.

Present with a portion of the salsa and the capers.

Bon appetite!
