How to Make Barbecued Fish With Crisp Potatoes
- Boil the potatoes in salted water for 12-15 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat a flat barbecue grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
- Toss the cooked potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the preheated grill.
- Grill the potatoes for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes are grilling, drizzle the fish fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, push them to one side of the grill. Place the fish fillets on the hot grill.
- Grill the fish for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- In a small bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, spring onions, minced garlic, and capers.
- Stir in the chopped basil and extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the tomato salsa generously over the cooked fish fillets.
- Serve the barbecued fish immediately with the crispy potatoes. Garnish with extra basil if desired.
