Method

SPICED SNAPPER

1. Combine all the spices in a small bowl. Season the fish with salt, then sprinkle both sides with the spice mix.

2. Preheat a barbecue flat plate to medium. Brush with oil, then cook the fish for about 2 minutes each side, or until golden & just cooked. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish.

GRILLED YOGHURT FLATBREAD

3. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt & pepper in a large bowl.

4. Add the yoghurt and mix to make a soft dough. Tip onto a lightly floured bench & knead gently until smooth. Cover with a tea towel & leave for 10 minutes.

5. Divide into 4 pieces & press out to ½cm thick. Place on the grill bars, close the lid and cook for about 2 minutes each side, until puffed and golden. Makes 4.

TO SERVE

1. Combine the onion and lemon juice with a pinch of salt in a medium bowl and leave for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the mango and turn to coat in lemon juice.

2. Stir the yoghurt & lemon zest together and spread 1 cup over the base of a serving platter. Top with the tomatoes & season with salt.

3. Arrange the fish, mango & drained onions over the tomatoes, then drizzle with olive oil. Scatter with the coriander. Serve the remaining yoghurt separately along with flatbreads.
