Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Score one side of the brill steaks (or the skin side of the fillets) with a sharp knife and rub with the garlic and ginger. Lightly drizzle a baking tray with oil and add the fish (if using fillets, place skin-side up). Roast for 8 minutes (6 minutes for fillets).
  2. In a small pan, mix the tamarind with 75ml hot water until smooth. Add the soy and half the chillies and gently warm. Remove from the heat; stir in the chopped coriander.
  3. Steam the greens for 2-4 minutes until tender. Transfer to plates and top with the brill. Scatter with the spring onions, remaining chillies and coriander leaves and serve with the tamarind sauce.

    Really good recipe. Wasn't sure about the tamarind sauce when I was cooking it but it worked really well. Good enough for a dinner party too.
