Cajun Fish


I learnt to enjoy eating fish after moving to Tanzania. It's fresh and doesn't have that fishy taste after cooking. This is very simple mid week supper.

Serving 2

Red Snapper but any fish fillet would be fine. Sprinkle generously on both sides of fillets with:
  1. Olive oil
  2. Cajun spice depending how hot you desire. ( I used one with grinder bottle, not the powder)
  3. Sea salt
  4. Garlic cloves crushed
  5. Lemon juice
  6. Corriander leaves chopped
Cover with plastic wrap and leave to marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature and heat grill or frying pan lightly greased until it starts to smoke. Add fish and cook one side completely for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook the other side.

Serve with stir fried vegetables, pan roasted potatoes and tartar sauce.

Tartar sauce: Take 2 heaped tablespoons of mayo, add 1/2 lemon juice, 1 small gherkin with 1 tsp liquid, add seeded red chilli optional. Final sprinkle sea salt and black pepper.
