Blue grenadier fish with peanut yoghurt sauce

Two weeks ago I was challenged to combining white fish with yoghurt. My mind raced – there are a lot of possibilities. Fish curry, fish tacos with yoghurt or baked yoghurt, lemon and garlic fish. I thought I’d try something more Asian inspired – a cuisine I don’t cook very often. So I made grilled fish with peanut yoghurt sauce.

I opted for blue grenadier because it was the only white fish I could buy at short notice from a generic supermarket that wasn’t farmed or imported from Asia.

Ingredients:

• 2 large pieces of blue grenadier
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove crushed
• 2 teaspoons sweet soy sauce
• 1 small chili (finely sliced)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 table spoon natural peanut butter (100% peanuts)
• ½ cup water
• 2 tablespoon natural Greek yoghurt.

Method:

• Grill the fish until brown on both sides
• Meanwhile heat oil in a pan
• Add garlic and cook until fragrant
• Add sweet soy sauce, chili and lime juice
• Mix in the natural peanut butter and water
• Once the peanut butter has dissolved and the mixture thickens take off heat
• Add yoghurt and keep mixing until well combined
• Cut each piece of fish in half and top with sauce – two large pieces of fish should serve 4.

I served the fish with fried rice but steamed rice, noodles or Vietnamese salad would work perfectly.

 

Well I would say this challenged was a SUCCESS. Mr Bball was a fan and devoured the rest for lunch and dinner the next day. I was lucky to sneak a little for my lunch too. Even nicer the next day.

Bring on the next challenge!
