First thing we experimented with - cooking the fish on baking paper with a bit of olive oil on top of the BBQ hotplate - result = spectacular!!! What an awesome way to cook fish - the flavour is amazing.
We tried the following two recipes both cooked on the BBQ.
The first recipe is a paste of coriander, chili and other herbs all mashed up and then rubbed all over the fish - you can let it sit for up to 3 hours - I only let this sit for about 30 mins. It was delicious! We caught a couple of massive Snapper and I used this recipe for a single thick fillet that fed us both. It seemed to bring out a much more 'fishy' smell and taste - but not unpleasant - just more so than what you get if you just fry in flour and butter in the pan.
The risoni is one of my favourite recipes from the Marie Claire, Fresh recipe book. Just a really simple dish - roast sliced red peppers, thinly sliced red onion, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Stir through the cooked risoni with spring onions, tomatoes, fresh basil leaves and rocket - YUM!
The second recipe is one from Jamie Oliver's Italy cookbook. It is a citrus zest salt that you rub over the fish. I found this very very salty and only used about a tenth of the amount of salt that Jaimie Oliver says. Maybe I used too much on each piece of fish? I would definitely make this again though - Darren loved it - I would just go easier on the salt. All it was was two stems of rosemary leaves smashed up to a paste, the zest of a lemon and and orange and (100gm!!!) finely ground flakey sea salt. I just spread it out on a plate and dragged the fillets through it and then patted all over with olive oil.
The risoni recipe I found online here at Free Recipes - Risoni Pasta Salad. I left out the bacon as I don't eat piggy wiggies unless they are 100% free range - which means ... I don't eat piggies much. Roughly the recipe was 60ml olive oil, 30ml red wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons of dijon mustard stirred through. Added spring onions, chopped apricots and toasted pine nuts - absolutely delicious.
