Recipe
SERVES: 2
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 fresh snapper fillets (approx 200g each)
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp himalayan sea salt flakes
- 1 tsp extra virgin coconut oil
- ¼ cup fresh dill
- juice ½ lemon
- 2 wedges lemon
- 1 cup mixes leaves
Beetroot Puree
- 2 medium beetroots, cooked
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp wasabi powder (optional)
- 1 garlic glove, crushed
- himalayan sea salt and black pepper
METHOD:
- Blend the beetroot puree ingredients together and season to taste.
- Heat coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan.
- Squeeze lemon juice over snapper fillets, the rub with salt, lemon zest, fennel seeds and half the dill.
- Add fish to the pan, cooking for 4 mins on each side*
- Serve puree between two bowls, with 1/2 cup salad and a lemon wedge.
- Top with snapper and serve with remaining dill.
Tips:
*Remember fish will continue to cook out of the pan. Cook to 90%, then remove to a plate to ensure fish is not overcooked.
Test with a fork – ensuring the middle of the fish flakes easily.
Would also be delicious with tuna, salmon or basa fillets. Just be sure to opt for sustainably caught fish.
