Recipe 11 & 12: Citrus baked Fish with Mint salsa

Another Citrus recipe (perhaps I should try and do 208 citrus recipes!), which is a staple meal in our household. Although a grassroot recipe, it tastes fabulous and makes me look like a pro! I use Hoki  or blue cod fish fillets, as it is my favourite tasting fish but you could use any white fish fillets. This recipe is good at home or if your out camping. Whenever we go out bush,  I always make sure I have a few Oranges and Lemons handy for any fish we may catch.

Citrus Fish

1 Orange
1 Lemon
2 tblsp Oil
Tin foil
2 Fish fillets

METHOD

1. Half the Orange and Lemon, Zest one half of the lemon and orange and add to a small bowl with the oil. On the tin foil place the 2 fish fillets, pour the citrus marinade over the fillets.
2. With the remaining halves of orange and lemon, cut into segments and place on top of the fish fillets.
3. Wrap the fish fillets, with the marinade and orange in the tin foil. Leave for 30 minutes, then put into the oven (or bbq) and bake at 120c until cooked.

Can be served with rice, or salad, but generally I serve with recipe 12- Mint Salsa and a simple green salad.

Mint Salsa

1 cucumber, peeled, deseeded and chopped.
1 Spring Onion finely chopped.
4 tsp of lemon (if I am making both of these recipes at once- I use the remaining lemon after the 4 tsp in the baking of the fish, so its not wasted.)
4 tblsp Olive oil
1 cup shredded mint leaves
1 Orange segment (again saved from the above recipe) for garnish

METHOD

1. After chopping everything, gently toss altogether (except the orange).chop the orange segment into smaller segments.
2. Place salsa on plate and garnish with the orange segments.
