Grilled Fish With Salsa and an Avocado Sauce

Submitted by The Flying Chef

"This is a very simple dish it is more of a summer dish, but I thought I would post it as I fancied something a little lighter the other night and made this. It is extremely healthy low in fat and carbohydrates, yet has loads of flavour. I just serve this with salad on the side."

1. Quarter peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Grill pepper, skin side up, until skin blisters and blackens. Peel skin away and chop finely. Combine pepper and remaining ingredients in a bowl, mix well, refrigerate until needed.
2. Avocado Sauce.

We love, love loved the avocado cream, but thought the sweet chilli was overpowering in the salsa. Both of us agreed less sweet chilli or more vinegar would improve it. A squeeze of lime made it better. We cooked fresh Spangled Emperor that we caught ourselvess today
