How To Make Grilled Red Mullet With Tomato & Green Bean Salad

Step 1: You will need...

Step 2: Check the grill

If you have a charcoal barbeque light it 30-40 minutes before you plan to cook. It is ready when there are no more flames and the charcoal has turned white. If you are using a gas barbeque, light it up on high and leave it for 20 minutes.

Step 3: Cook the beans

Place a saucepan three-quarters of the way full with water over a moderate heat and bring to a boil. Season with a little salt and when it is boiling add the green beans. Cook them for 2 minutes and then remove and place them in iced water.

Step 4: Cut the beans

On a chopping board remove the two ends of the beans and then cut them in half, and finally, cut them into thin strips. When you have finished, place them in a bowl.

Step 5: Make the salad

Into the bowl add the tomatoes, coriander, basil, lime juice, garlic, chilli flakes and 4 tbsp of olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper and mix well.

Step 6: Season the fish

Brush the mullet with the remaining oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 7: Grill the fish

Place the fish on the grill and cook for 3-4minutes on each side.

Step 8: Present and serve

Place two fish on a large plate, arrange the salad on top and for a final touch, spoon over some of the juices. Serve immediately, either as a starter or main course.
