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.
