This spicy and flavoursome marinade is delicious with a robust textured fish such as blue eye trevalla. The longer you allow it to marinate the better, and if you are feeding a family, don't be put off by the term spicy - it's not peppery spicy and will kids love it.

Ingredients

2 tbsp dry tandoori mix

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tbsp lemon or lime juice

pinch sea salt

½ cup low fat natural yoghurt

4 pieces blue eye trevalla fish, (160g each)

Cucumber and Mint Sauce

1 cup low fat natural yoghurt

2 tbsp mint, chopped

2 Lebanese cucumbers grated with the juices squeezed out of it

pinch sea salt and black pepper

Method

Combine the tandoori mix with the garlic, lemon juice, salt and yoghurt.
Spread the marinade over both sides of the fish and leave to marinate in the fridge overnight or for a minimum of two hours.

To make the sauce grate the cucumber and press it through a fine sieve to squeeze out any excess juice. Combine with 3/4 cup of yoghurt and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint.

Heat a flat BBQ plate and sear the fish for 2 - 3 minutes on each side.
Transfer to the oven and cook for a further 5 - 7 minutes to cook through completely and prevent the fish from drying out.

Serve with steamed English spinach and brown rice.
