Recipe: Grilled fish with saffron, mint & parsley
How to Make:
- Place the water and saffron in a heatproof bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes to infuse. Process the saffron mixture, parsley, mint, coriander, lime juice and oil in a food processor until finely chopped.
- Cut four 30cm-long pieces of foil. Lightly brush 1 piece of foil with oil to grease. Place 1 fish fillet in the centre of the foil. Top with 1/4 of the herb mixture. Repeat with remaining foil, fish and herb mixture. Fold up to enclose fish. Preheat a barbecue grill on high. Add fish parcels and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.
- Cook the rice following packet directions. Combine the rice, lentils, currants, extra parsley and extra mint in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the fish.
