FISH STEAK RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Smash up the chilli and the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar.
  2. Peel and chop the garlic, pick and finely chop the herb leaves and add it all to the pestle and mortar with a drizzle of oil and lemon juice, to taste. Mix together, and season with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. Lay out your tuna steaks on a tray, season both sides and rub all over with the herb mixture.
  4. There are two nice ways to cook it: I prefer to cook it on a griddle pan or in a frying pan.
  5. Your pan should be very, very hot. Put in the tuna and what you want to do is sear it so that it toasts, fries and browns (about 45 to 60 seconds on each side).
  6. Once cooked, I like to rip the steaks in half and serve with salad and chips or boiled potatoes and a big wedge of lemon. It’s quite sexy sometimes with some marinated sun-dried tomatoes, olives, basil… The possibilities are endless.

Steps:

• 1. Grating the butternut squash into the soup is a little trick I saw in Sicily. It gives it good colour and sweetness.
  2. Finely chop the onion, celery, fennel, garlic and chilli. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion, celery, fennel, garlic and chilli and sweat gently until soft. Add the wine, tomatoes or passata, squash and stock and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Season and gently break up the tomatoes.
  3. Roughly chop the salmon and halibut and add to the pan. Add the prawns or langoustine tails, cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until just cooked.
  4. Taste the soup and season it again with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice, if necessary.
  5. Serve drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with the chopped parsley.
