Preparing Flame Grilled Fish is an exciting process, in tune with nature. It can be savored year-round, which makes it an appetizing social activity, best enjoyed in the garden, cottage, or outdoors.
INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic, about 3 cloves
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, orange juice, or dry white wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or sherry vinegar
a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, or 1 teaspoon or more chopped fresh herbs such as rosemary, dill, parsley, thyme, cilantro, basil, or mint, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or oregano, crumbled
freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds fish steaks
lemon wedges for garnish
PREPARATION
Combine all the ingredients except fish and lemon wedges and mix well. Using a pastry brush, paint the fish steaks liberally on both sides and set them aside, lightly covered with a piece of aluminum foil, to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Build up a fire, using good hardwoods if you’re cooking in a fireplace or the best hardwood charcoal (not fake-wood briquettes) if you’re using a grill. Let the fire burn brightly and die down until you have a nice bed of hot coals or embers. Large pieces of fish can be set directly on the grill, but to prevent smaller ones from falling through and burning up, you may want to use a special grid made for fish.
When you’re ready to cook, brush a little plain olive oil on the cooking surface and set it 4 to 6 inches from the source of heat. Arrange the fish steaks so that they have equal access to the heat source. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, turning once. Test for doneness—fish should be opaque all the way through—by inserting the tip of a sharp knife near the bone or in the center of a boneless piece of fish. Remove immediately to a hot platter.
The ultimate summertime favourite. Buy the freshest seafood you can for this simple platter with the dipping option of choice.

6 cooked lobsters, halved lengthways
6kg cooked prawns
1500 g smoked salmon slices
Crushed ice, to serve
Lime wedges, to serve
Instructions
To make the seafood sauce, combine the mayonnaise, tomato sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and paprika in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill.
To make the avocado & lime dressing, toast cumin in a saucepan over low heat for 1 min or until aromatic. Process in a food processor with avocado, garlic, lime juice and olive oil until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To make capsicum salsa, preheat a grill on medium. Cook the capsicum, skin-side up for 5 mins or until skin chars and blisters. Transfer to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Set aside for 5 mins. Peel skin and finely chop capsicum. Add tomato, capers, vinegar and oil.
Place lobsters, prawns and smoked salmon on a platter of ice. Serve with the seafood sauce, the avocado & lime dressing, the roasted capsicum & caper salsa, and the lime wedges.
