  • For the Olive Relish
  • 24 Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 6 preserved lemons, roughly chopped
  • 8 pickled chillies, sliced
  • 1 small bunch of coriander, chopped

  • Mix the za’atar with olive oil to create a paste, then smear it all over the fish to coat. Season with salt, and then marinade in the fridge for 30 mins. Meanwhile make the relish by mixing the ingredients in a bowl.
  • Heat some olive oil in a large frying pan, and fry the fish for 8 mins on one side, and 3 or 4 on the other until golden brown and crusted with the spice paste. Serve with a generous helping of your homemade relish.
