Method

  1. Slice the salmon and plaice as thinly as possible; a long, thin sharp knife will make this easier. Lay the strips over a large platter. Mix together the lime juice, shallot and chilli, season. Pour over the fish, making sure you cover all of it. Cover and leave to marinate for an hour in the fridge, the acid in the lime juice will 'cook' the fish. Just before serving, scatter with coriander.

    Tried this dish after being recommended it by a friend. I used lemon sole as a replacement. Simple, delicious and fresh. Served with brown rice and made a chicken noodle broth as a starter.
