Recipe by House Chef, Abbie Leeson
Learning through travel, Abbie has eaten her way through nearly 60 countries. Australia, Finland, Morocco, Japan and France - a few of her culinary favoruites. She's passionate about taking ginger into unexpected places, while still revisiting the classics like her beloved Ultimate Chewy Ginger Snaps. Favourite culinary book: Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. Favourite moment with a fellow chef: Dinner with Julia Child, 1992. Actually, she was at the next table. We told the waiter, "We'll have what she's having."

Grilled Halibut with Ginger Mango Salsa

This blazing-hot, flavourful salsa is tempered with sweet ginger and fruity mango, then cooled with a hint of coconut and lime. Addictive and delicious over fish or as a chip dip. For slightly less kick, use finely minced jalapeno instead of scotch bonnet or habaneros.

ingredients

  • 2 ripe mangos or paw paws, peeled and cut in 5mm cubes
  • 50g The Ginger People® Uncrystallised Bare Ginger, finely minced
  • 2 scotch bonnet or habanero chilies, seeded
  • 80ml dark rum
  • 80ml fresh lime juice
  • 60ml coconut cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 15ml The Ginger People® Organic Ginger Syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground anise
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • Pinch cinnamon
  • Halibut – Desired number halibut fillets, or other hearty fish, about 3cm thick. 150g each
  • Olive Oil
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper

 

directions

  1. Combine cubed mango or paw paw with Uncrystallised Bare Ginger. Set aside.
  2. Combine remaining ingredients, chilies through cinnamon, in a blender. (If using jalapeno, peppers can be minced instead of blending. Scotch bonnet and habanero should be blended to evenly disperse the more intense heat). Puree just until smooth, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour into a saucepan. Add mango and ginger. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm for serving. Salsa keeps refrigerated for 4-6 weeks.
  4. To prepare halibut: Preheat grill to medium-high. Lightly oil grate.
  5. Brush fillets liberally with oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill until fish flakes easily, 5-6 minutes per side. Serve with warm Ginger Mango Salsa.
