Chimichurri fish

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

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.

Ingredients

2 Woolworths whole tilapia, filleted into 4 fillets
salt, to taste
For the apple-and-baby marrow slaw, toss:
4 baby marrows, thinly sliced
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
2 T olive oil

Cooking Instructions

1. Salt the fish on the skin side. Braai over medium coals until slightly charred;
the flesh should still be slightly opaque.
2. Serve the chimichurri on top of the salad, topped with the fish.
