About

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I HAVE BECOME A HUGE FAN OF MEXICAN FOOD. I LOVE THE CONTRASTING SWEET/SOUR FLAVOURS, ASSORTED TEXTURES AND COLD/HOT COMBINATIONS THAT CHARACTERISE THE DISHES. THIS MARRIAGE OF CHILLED CHOPPED VEGETABLES SPIKED WITH CHILLI AND HOT GRIDDLED FISH HAS A MEXICAN FEEL ABOUT IT.

Method

Rinse the sea bream fillets, pat dry with kitchen paper and check for small bones, removing any with kitchen tweezers. Lightly score the skin side of the fish fillets, using a sharp knife. Cover and chill.
For the salsa, simmer the corn kernels in a pan of boiling water until tender, about 6-8 minutes. Drain, refresh under cold running water and drain well. Tip
