Grilled Fish Sandwiches with Cilantro Chutney image

Adding coconut to this green chutney makes it textured and spreadable for a sandwich. The coconut flavor is nutty and slightly sweet which perfectly balances out the spicy serrano and fresh cilantro.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 cups fresh cilantro
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 serrano pepper, stemmed and seeded
1 1-inch piece ginger, cut into coins
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons curry powder
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 1/2 limes)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted, plus more as needed
Kosher salt
4 skinless halibut fillets (5 to 6 ounces each; 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick)
4 soft rolls (such as Portuguese rolls), split
1 1/2 cups julienned or shredded carrots
Sweet potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the chutney: Combine 1 1/2 cups cilantro, the coconut, serrano, ginger, garlic, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Pulse in 1 to 2 more tablespoons water if the chutney is too thick.
  • Preheat a grill to medium high. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1 teaspoon curry powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Rub all over the halibut fillets. Lightly oil the grill with coconut oil. Grill the halibut until well-marked and the fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Grill the rolls until charred in spots, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
  • Mix the carrots and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/4 cup cilantro in a medium bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Spread the cilantro chutney on the cut sides of the rolls. (If the chutney is dry, mix in 1 to 2 more teaspoons coconut oil.) Fill the rolls with the carrot mixture and halibut. Serve with sweet potato chips.

This recipe is a great starting point for creating your own grilled fish sandwich. I added some chopped red onion and jalapeño to the chutney, and it was delicious. I also used tilapia instead of cod, and it worked out great.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some salmon leftover from dinner, and I used it to make these sandwiches. They were delicious!
