Grilled Yellowtail, Broccoli & Warm Puttanesca Dressing

Ingredients
  

  • 4 x 200g Yellowtail fillets (or any firm fillets, line fish or kingklip will also work)
  • 1 head Broccoli
  • 5 Anchovie fillets, finely chopped
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • 3 Tomatoes, blanched, peeled and deseeded
  • 3 tbsp Capers
  • 4 tbsp Black olives, stoned and roughly chopped
  • 1 Chilli, finely chopped
  • 10 g basil, torn
  • 100 ml Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

Broccoli

  • Cut the broccoli into florets and blanche in boiling salted water and then refresh in ice cold water. Be careful not to overcook the broccoli – it should remain bright green and crunchy.

Warm puttanesca dressing

  • Heat the anchovies, onion and oil together until the anchovies start to disintegrate. Add the tomato, chilli and capers and cook until the tomatoes starts to break down and forms a sauce. Add the chopped olives and torn basil and remove from the heat.

Yellowtail

  • Season the yellowtail fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan large enough to accommodate all 4 pieces of fish. Add a thin layer of olive oil and when the oil is hot place the fish, presentation side down, into the pan. Cook for approximately 8 minutes (depending on thickness of fillet) and then turn the fish over and cook for a further 3 minutes.
  • While the fish is cooking put the broccoli in a pan and warm. Stir some of the Puttanesca dressing in with the broccoli. Place the broccoli in the middle of plates and place a piece of yellowtail on each salad. Spoon the last of the dressing on top of the fish.
