Fish Relish with Tomato and Cucumber

Cuisine

Thai

Recipe Description

Thai cuisine excels at getting the balance of salty–sour–sweet exactly right and this piquant dish is a top example. It’s loaded with punch and texture – crunch from the fried shallots, freshness from the cucumber and tomato, and a flavour explosion from the pounded relish. 

Prep Time 20 Minutes

Difficulty Easy

Ingredient List

20 ml (¾ fl oz) grape seed oil
400 g (14 oz) kingfish (or similar white-fleshed fish), filleted
4–12 heirloom tomatoes (depending on size)
1 cucumber
80 g (2¾ oz) ready-made fried shallots
1 bunch Thai basil, leaves picked
Relish
50 g (1¾ oz) lemongrass stem, minced
7.5 cm (3 in) piece ginger, minced
3 tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1½ teaspoons white pepper
1 kaffir lime leaf, finely shredded
½ teaspoon fennel seeds
juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons palm sugar (jaggery)

Recipe Steps

In a large non-stick frying pan cook all the relish ingredients together. It should form a paste, and it’s worth pounding the mixture in a mortar and pestle after cooking for a better texture. 

In a large frying pan over a medium heat, warm the oil then add the fish fillets and sear for about 4 minutes. Repeat for the other side. You actually want to overcook the fish, so don’t be worried. Once the fish is cooked, remove from the heat and set aside. 

Cut the tomatoes into some interesting shapes, depending on their size and variety. The cucumber should be sliced on a mandoline into circles about 2 mm (¼ in) thick. 

In a large mortar pound the fish and relish together with the pestle and check the seasoning – it should be sweet and sour. Spoon the relish onto the plates and then place the tomato, cucumber, fried shallots and Thai basil on top to serve.
