Grilled red snapper with apple, carrot and cabbage slaw

Method

1. First prepare the mango and melon hash. In a bowl, mix together the mango, melon, chilli (to taste), spring onion, coriander and lime juice.

2. Mix well and set aside for 15 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.

3. Next make the apple, carrot and Savoy cabbage slaw. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, cider vinegar, sugar and mustard to make the dresssing.

4. In a large bowl, toss together the apple, carrot, cabbage, red pepper and spring onion, until well-blended. Add the yogurt dressing and toss well. Season with freshly ground coarse black pepper to taste.

5. In a bowl, mix together the granulated garlic, salt, coarsely ground black pepper and peanut oil

6. Add the snapper fillets and mix well to evenly coat with the oil mixture.

7. Heat a heavy-based frying pan or griddle pan until hot, but not smoking.

8. Lay the snapper filets one by one skin side down and cook over med-high heat for 3-5 minutes depending on the thickness of the snapper. The fish should turn easily if you do not move it until you are ready to turn it. Turn on the other side and cook it for a further 3 minutes.

9. Serve the red snapper skin side up on a large serving plate, laced with the coleslaw and the mango melon hash.
