Whole braaied fish

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 10–12 minutes

Ingredients

For the dressing:

4 cups parsley, chopped
2 T garlic, crushed
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 T fish sauce
2 t Woolworths chilli crunch

For the fish:

1 whole yellowtail (ask your fishmonger to butterfly and pin bone it)

Method

1. Start with the dressing. Blend all the ingredients. Adjust the acidity to your liking. Set aside.

2. Place the butterflied fish on a hinged braai grid. You will need medium to hot coals.

3. Once the braai is ready, place the fish on it, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is crispy. Cook only on this side. The fish should cook through.

4. Open the grid, place a board on the flesh side and flip the board over. If all goes to plan, the fish should not stick. Drizzle over the dressing.
