Substitute the tilapia with any sustainable fish. If you’re cooking a whole fish (e.g. snoek) wrap it in four layers of newspaper and tie with string, then dunk the whole parcel in water before braaiing to steam the fish.

  • 2 celery sticks, thinly sliced
  • 2 green apples, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For the chimichurri, mix:

  • 2 t capers, chopped
  • 30 g parsley, chopped
  • 300 g gherkins, chopped
  • 1 small red chilli, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 4 anchovies, minced

the flesh should still be slightly opaque.
2. Serve the chimichurri on top of the salad, topped with the fish.
