Preparation

What You Need

1/3 cup (80 ml) olive oil

1/3 cup (80 ml) lime juice

1 tbsp (15 ml) lime zest

1/2 to 1 tsp (2 to 5 mL) Espelette pepper or

ground cayenne pepper (optional)

1 lb (450 g) fillet firm fish of your choice (salmon, halibut, tilapia, etc.)

4 cups (1 l) cooked orzo or

other small pasta

1 1/2 cups (375 ml) finely diced cucumber

1 1/2 cups (375 ml) cherry tomato halves

2 tbsp (30 ml) drained capers

3 cups (750 ml) arugula or

baby spinach, washed and stems removed

5 oz (150 g) Canadian Havarti, cubed

Salt

Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice and zest and Espelette pepper. Set aside 2 tbsp (30 mL) of this mixture to brush on fish while cooking.

Preheat barbecue to medium-high. Cook fish 3 to 5 minutes per side depending on fish selected and how you like it done. Brush with reserved dressing occasionally. Salt and pepper to taste.

Add cooked pasta, cucumbers, tomatoes, and capers to dressing in large bowl. Toss well. Add arugula and cheese just before serving. Divide evenly among 4 plates or soup plates.

Top with grilled fish.

Tips

Dressing with pasta, cucumbers, tomatoes and capers can be made ahead. To complete the salad, simply cook the fish and add the arugula and Havarti (unless you opt to serve it cold).

For a change of taste, try with Canadian Cheddar, Gouda, Mozzarella or Bocconcini, etc.
