Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Place the yellowtail on a greased baking tray and season to taste. Dot with butter and drizzle with 2 T extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Grill the fish for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  4. Place the papaya and watercress in a mixing bowl with the picked coriander, microherbs, lemon juice and remaining olive oil.
  5. Serve the fish topped with the papaya-and-watercress salad, with the chermoula aïoli on the side.
  6. To make the chermoula aïoli, place the egg yolks and Dijon mustard in a mixing bowl and whisk while slowly pouring in the oil. Keep whisking until the oil-and-yolk mixture has increased in volume and turned pale in colour. Add the lemon juice and season to taste. Add the remaining ingredients and combine. Serve with the grilled yellowtail.
