FRIDAY NIGHT:
- Preheat the oven to
200°C. - Place all the
marinade ingredients
in a food processor
and pulse to mix
everything thoroughly,
but don’t make the
mixture too smooth. - Pour the marinade
into a shallow dish and
place the fish fillets in
it. Let the fish stand in
the marinade for 10-15
minutes. - Cover a baking tray
with a layer of oil, place
the fish on top and bake
in the oven for 10-15
minutes, until cooked.
- Heat the olive oil
in a deep frying pan
over high heat. Fry
the broccoli and
kale together for 5
minutes. - Add the garlic,
ginger and sesame
seeds and fry for
another 2 minutes.
Season with freshly
milled salt and
pepper.
To Serve
Serve with a knob of
garlic butter on each
fillet. And if you want
to be extra fancy,
garnish with black
sesame seeds. (If
you’re cooking this
recipe for a date, I
strongly recommend
you do use the black
sesame seeds!)

Angelfish is another reason I’ve started to cook
fish more often. Let’s be honest, fish is shockingly
expensive. Salmon, fresh tuna and even stockfish
are prohibitively priced. Well, that’s where angelfish
comes in – a most suitable name, if you ask me.
