Grilled Snapper with Green Tahini
I believe the real magic happens when you put tahini on fish. This dish is a grilled snapper topped with a spicy tahini sauce, fresh herbs, pomegranate, and pine nuts. If you’re short on time or cooking for a few people, you can make this with fish fillets instead!
Price range: €5.00 through €89.00
Step 1
Preheat your BBQ to medium heat.
Step 2
Rub the whole snapper with a slice of lemon to add flavour and help prevent sticking.
Step 3
Make 3 diagonal cuts along the top of the fish (use a sharp knife). Stuff the cuts with lemon slices.
Step 4
Stuff the cavity of the fish with garlic cloves, coriander roots, and more lemon slices.
Step 5
Place the fish into a fish basket (sprayed lightly with oil to prevent sticking) and set on the BBQ grill.
Step 6
Close the BBQ cover and grill for 30 minutes. Check halfway through and flip the fish for even cooking.
Prepare The Green Tahini Sauce
Step 7
In a blender or food processor, combine tahini, oil, water, coriander, spinach, green chilies, lemon juice, and garlic.
Step 8
Blend until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste. The consistency should be runny like a smoothie —adjust with a little more water if needed.
Step 9
Place the sauce in the fridge to chill while the fish is grilling.
Prepare The Toppings
Step 10
Wash and dry the mint, dill, and spinach leaves.
Step 11
Slice the long green chillies and radish thinly for garnishing.
Step 12
Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant.
Check The Fish
Step 13
When the fish is done, the eye should appear white and opaque, and the flesh should flake easily with a fork.
Step 14
Carefully remove the fish from the grill and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
