Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
To make the salsa verde, put the garlic, jalapeño, spring onions, tomato, coriander, mint, parsley, lime juice, olive oil, and 100ml (⅓ cup) water into a food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Step 2.
Preheat the grill (broiler) to high. Brush a little olive oil over each red snapper fillet and season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets skin side up on a baking sheet or grill pan. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side, until the fish is just tender and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Step 3.
While the fish is grilling, in a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, sweetcorn, finely chopped mint, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toss well and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Step 4.
Serve the grilled red snapper immediately with the corn salad and a generous spoonful of the salsa verde.
