  • 2tbsp olive oil, plus extra to griddle
  • juice and finely grated zest 2 limes
  • 4 filleted monkfish tails (approx. 200g each prepared weight)

Method

Mix together the harissa paste, olive oil, lime zest and three- quarters of the juice in a bowl to create a marinade.

Brush the marinade all over the fish tails with a pastry brush, setting aside a little to drizzle before serving, and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.

Heat a griddle pan until hot. Add a touch of oil, then immediately add the monkfish tails and griddle for 3 minutes on either side.

Remove the fish from the pan, then sprinkle the remaining lime juice and the coriander over. Serve immediately with the extra marinade to drizzle over.
