Method

  1. Fry the scallops in the olive oil for about 1 min until golden, then flip them over and sprinkle over the garlic cloves and chopped fresh red chilli into the pan. Cook for about 1 min more, then squeeze over the juice of the lime.
  2. Finish off with roughly chopped coriander and salt and pepper. Serve straight away.

Eco alternatives

We've never been more aware of over-fishing, so instead of cod and haddock, try hoki or pollock. For skate try herring. Try grey mullet in place of sea bass or John Dory instead of monkfish.

Recipe from Good Food magazine, February 2005.

    so delicious and a bit different!! i made them as a main, and had some linguine on the side, making a bit more of the sauce and pouring it over the pasta.
