Ingredients
- 4tbsp The Spice People’s Ajwain Seeds
- 2tsp The Spice People’s Paprika Hot
- 2tsp The Spice People’s Asafoetida
- 800g skinless firm white fish – hake, bass, barramundi or any other
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 cup yoghurt
- 4tsp dijon mustard
- 2 lemons
- 2/3 cup of fresh mint, leaves plucked
- 6tbsp apple cider vinegar
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 red onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cucumbers, sliced into half moons
Directions
- Cut your fish into 3cm chunks, pat dry, and set aside while you prepare your marinade. In a bowl, combine your spices, garlic, yoghurt and 1/2 the Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar, with a good glug of olive oil.
- Add your fish pieces in, toss to coat, and place covered in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 mins.
- While the fish marinates, place your skewers in water to soak to avoid them burning when cooking. For the dressing – put your remaining mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a good glug of olive oil, and whisk to combine and emulsify. Add your cucumber and onion into a bowl along with your dressing and toss to coat. Set aside.
- Remove your fish from the fridge and thread the pieces onto your skewers. Place a pan, griddle, or BBQ on med-high heat. When hot, add a drizzle of olive oil in and cook your skewers in batches for about 2-3 mins on each side. They’re cooked when they’re opaque and flaky inside. Transfer to a plate, squeeze lemon all over, and set aside to rest.
- Before serving, toss your mint leaves through your cucumber salad, serve alongside your fish skewers, and a dollop of yoghurt, and enjoy!
