Jerk spice is traditionally made with Scotch bonnet chillies; substitute habaneros or small hot chillies. You want a good hit of chilli heat.

Ingredients

Jerk spice paste
Pineapple-lime salad

Method

Main

1.Heat a barbecue or chargrill pan to high heat.
2.For jerk spice paste, pound chillies and garlic to a paste with a mortar and pestle, then stir in remaining ingredients and 1 tsp sea salt flakes.
3.Slash fish a few times each side, then rub all over with jerk spice paste. Drizzle with oil, then barbecue, turning carefully every few minutes, until fish has a nice crust and is cooked through (about 15 minutes). Transfer to serving plates and keep warm.
4.Meanwhile, for pineapple-lime salad, combine ingredients in a bowl, season to taste, drizzle with olive oil, and serve scattered with coconut alongside fish.

Note Jicama, or yam bean, is available from Asian grocers. If it’s unavailable, substitute kohlrabi.
