Total Time40 minutes
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Australian
Servings: 4 serves

Ingredients

Fish

  • 1 whole snapper (1.2-1.5kg), scaled and gutted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Flaky sea salt and pepper

Charred corn salsa

  • 3 fresh corn cobs, husk on
  • 1 red capsicum, finely diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 long red chilli, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Char corn cobs (in husk) directly on the BBQ grill or over a gas flame, turning, until husks are blackened and corn is cooked, about 12 minutes. Cool, peel, slice kernels off.
  • Combine corn kernels, capsicum, onion, chilli, coriander, lime juice, olive oil and salt. Toss. Add avocado just before serving.
  • Score the snapper diagonally on both sides 3 times each, just into the flesh. Season inside and out with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff the cavity with lemon slices and thyme. Brush the skin with olive oil.
  • Heat the BBQ or grill to medium-high. Oil the grill bars. Grill snapper 7-8 minutes per side, turning once carefully.
  • Test by lifting the flesh near the bone with a knife: it should be opaque and flake easily.
  • Serve whole on a board with the charred corn salsa, lime wedges, and warm tortillas if you like.
