This dish is great not only because of the delightful favours but it's healthy and makes use of sustainable fish. It's ideal served for lunch with a wedge of crusty bread or with rice or couscous for a more substantial evening meal. As always, this recipe allows you to adjust the heat of MaRobert's sauce to suit your palate.
