Barbecued Chermoula Mullet Fillets
Mullet is an inexpensive fish, high in healthy omega-3 oils. Bold flavoured marinades such as chermoula help to balance out the stronger flavours that some oily fish have.
Serves: 4
Wine Match: Le Chat Noir Pinot Gris
Ingredients:
- 4 x 180g mullet fillets, skin off, bones removed
- Couscous, to serve
- 4 lemon wedges, to serve
Chermoula
- 1 bunch coriander
- 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
- Salt flakes, to taste
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 100ml lemon juice
- 250ml extra virgin olive oil
Method:
- Make the Chermoula: finely chop coriander and parsley leaves together in a food processor. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Spread half the Chermoula over the mullet fillets, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a barbecue or char-grill plate.
- Cook the fillets for 2 minutes on one side, turn and cook other side for a further 1-2 minutes until flesh flakes easily when tested with a fork.
- Place fillets on plates drizzle with a little of the remaining Chermoula and pass the rest separately. Serve with couscous and lemon wedges.
