A mixture of lime juice, ground cumin, grape tomatoes, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so delicious. To use up the ground cumin you could follow this main course with the Moroccan Chocolate Mousse as a dessert.
Instructions
Combine 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, lime rind, lime juice, and olive oil in a medium bowl.
Add cucumber, tomatoes, green onion, jalapeo, and mint. Set aside.
Sprinkle remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt over fish. Grill over medium-high heat 7 minutes or until tender. Top with salsa, and serve.
Note: Any seafood tastes great paired with this simple cucumber-tomato relish--just buy your favorite. If you choose a thin fillet such as flounder, place on heavy-duty aluminum foil to keep the fish intact while grilling.
Wine note: Quara, a new wine brand from Argentina, offers a couple of aromatic whites that blend well with seafood dishes. The Cafayate Valley Torrontes ($1
is a big, dry white with tropical fruit notes. The bold Chardonnay ($1
has a touch of oak for a crisp finish.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Santi Sortesele Pinot Grigio with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
Santi Sortesele Pinot Grigio
Straw yellow hue, accompanied by a close-focused nose of pear, apricot and white flowers. The fruity palate, with top notes of stone fruit, shows ripeness and roundness well supported by an elegant acidity and savoriness, ensuring a long, lingering finish.
