Pacific Island Fish Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the fish into 1 cm (1/2 inch) cubes and put into a bowl. Stir well.
• Then cover with lemon juice, cover with foil and leave for at least two hours. After this time the fish should look like poached.
• Put in a strainer. Keep only 1/4 cup of the juice.
• Chill.
• Chop the onion finely, grate the carrot, partly peel the cucumber and cut into small cubes, slice the capsicum, shred the cabbage and cut the tomatoes into cubes.
• Just before serving combine the fish with the vegetables and toss in coconut milk.

Steps:

• To Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan mix coconut cream, onion, salt, chilli, lemon juice, and the cornstarch (mixed to a paste with a little of the cold coconut cream).
• Bring the mixture to a boiling point, stirring all the time.
• Do not allow sauce to boil hard as it will become lumpy.
• Simmer for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
• Dip pieces of fish in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
• Brown lightly in hot oil.
• Place the fish in a casserole dish and pour the sauce over the top.
• Garnish with slices of tomato.
• Bake at 300F degrees for 20 minutes.
