Ingredients

 4 flatfish fillets, such as plaice, sole or flounder, about 115 g / 4 oz each
 10 ml / 2 tbsp lemon juice
 Coriander15 Milliliter, chopped
 15 ml / 1 tbsp vegetable oil
 Lime wedges and coriander leaves, to garnish
 5 ml / 1 tsp grated fresh root ginger
 30 ml / 2 tbsp tomato puree
 5 ml / 1 tsp sugar
 5 ml / 1 tsp salt
 Sauce15 Milliliter (For the sauce)
 15 ml / 1 tbsp malt vinegar
 300 ml / 1/2 pint / 1 1/4 cups water

Directions

1. Rinse, pat dry and place the fish fillets in a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice, fresh coriander and oil and rub into the fish. Leave to marinate for at least 1 hour. The flavour will improve if you can leave it for longer.
2. To make the sauce, mix together all the sauce ingredients, pour into a small saucepan and simmer over a low heat for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Preheat the grill to medium. Cook the fillets under the grill for about .5-7 minutes.
4. When the fillets are cooked, remove and arrange them on a warmed serving dish.
5. The chilli sauce should now be fairly thick - about the consistency of a thick chicken soup.
6. Spoon the sauce over the fillets, garnish with the lime wedges and coriander leaves, and serve with rice.
