Ingredients

  • • 1.5kg angel fish, butterflied or other firm, white-fleshed fish
  • • 20ml olive oil
  • • 50ml citrus marmalade
  • • 15ml runny honey
  • • 100ml freshly squeezed orange juice
  • • 20ml soy sauce
  • • 2 red chillies, seeded and halved
  • • 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
  • TO SERVE:
  • • shredded red cabbage
  • • shredded radicchio
  • • shredded fennel
  • • 20ml good-quality mayonnaise
  • • 10ml milk
  • • 5ml wasabi paste
  • • 10ml toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1.In a small saucepan, combine the marmalade, honey, orange juice, soy sauce, chilli and garlic and set over medium heat to simmer. Stirring often, reduce the marinade until it is thickened.

2.Pat the angel fish dry using a paper towel and rub the skin with the olive oil to prevent it from sticking. Place the fish into a hinged braai grid and brush the citrus marinade over the flesh.

3.Grill over medium to hot coals for 5 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. Baste the fish with the marinade while cooking.

4.For the slaw, add the mayonnaise to a mixing bowl and whisk in the milk and the wasabi.

5.Add the shredded cabbage, radicchio and fennel and toss to coat in the dressing.

6.Sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds and serve alongside the grilled angel fish.
