Lime Crusted Fish

I used this crust on Salmon, but it would go well with Tuna as well.

  1 1/2 Tbl Salt                                                                           1 Tbl Olive Oil

  1 1/2 Tbl Black Peppercorns                                                    1 Tbl Lime Juice

  1 Tbl Grains Of Paradise                                                         Salmon

  1 Tbl Lime Zest                                                                      

Mix salt, peppercorns and grains of paradise and grind.  Mix with lime zest in a bowl large enough to hold your fish fillets.

In a small bowl, combine oil and lime juice.

Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat and coat with additional olive oil.

Cut fish into portions.    Brush belly with Oil and Lime Juice mixture and dip into salt mixture so there is a crust on the fish.  Place crust side down in the pan and cook about 4 minutes.  Brush skin side with olive oil mixture and turn gently, being careful not to knock off crust.  Cook until done.
