Ingredients
| 4 | Fish fillets, 180g/fillet |
| 4 tbsp | Unsalted butter |
| 1 pinch | Salt |
| 1 | Lemon |
| 10 | New potatoes, or jersey benne |
| ½ cup | Pitted black olives |
| 1 tbsp | Olive oil |
| 2 tsp | Red wine vinegar |
| 2 tbsp | Chives |
| 1 to taste | Salt & freshly ground pepper |
Gazpacho Sauce
| 1 kg | Tomato |
| ½ cup | Onion |
| 1 | Red capsicum |
| 1 | Cucumber |
| 1 | Lemon |
| 2 tbsp | Red wine vinegar |
| 6 | Basil leaves |
| 1 handful | Parsley |
| 1 pinch | Ground cumin |
| 1 to taste | Salt & freshly ground pepper |
| 2 | Garlic cloves |
Directions
- Heat the grill and brush the fish with the melted butter. Cook for 3 minutes, then turn the fish over and season with salt. Cook for another 3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet. Remove the fish to a plate, squeeze lemon juice(from 1 lemon) over it and keep it warm.
- Put the potatoes into a deep saucepan, cover with hot water, then bring to a trembling simmer. Once they're cooked, drain, then leave until cool enough to handle. Slice the potatoes in half, then put into a bowl with the olives(sliced), olive oil, vinegar and chives(chopped).
- Toss gently, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Place a mound of potatoes in the centre of each serving plate and surround with spoonfuls of sauce. Top the potatoes with the cooked fish.
- Gazpacho sauce: Mix the tomatoes(very ripe, chopped), onion(chopped), garlic(chopped), capsicum(chopped), cucumber(15cm piece- peeled and seeded), juice of 1 lemon, vinegar, herbs and spices in a blender until extremely smooth, then season to taste with more salt and pepper if necessary. Keep the sauce at room temperature or chill until required.
