This salad was inspired by Portuguese cuisine, in which both salads and fish dishes often include roasted green sweet peppers (unlike Spanish cuisine, which favours sweeter red peppers). A fairly firm white-fleshed fish, such as halibut, is best here, but almost any fish that won’t fall apart on the grill is fine.

Ingredients

  • 4 boiling (not baking) potatoes (6 to 8 oz/175 to 250 g each)
  • 2 green bell peppers
  • 4 fish fillets (6 oz/175 g each)
  • 1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  paprika
  • 1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  salt
  • 1-1/2 tsp  (7 mL)  (approx) olive oil
  • Half head Boston lettuce, leaf or iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup  (125 mL)  olives
  • 4 lemons wedges
  • Caper Vinaigrette:
  • 1/2 cup  (125 mL)  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup  (75 mL)  minced sweet onion
  • 1/4 cup  (60 mL)  finely chopped parsley
  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  drained capers
  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  red wine vinegar
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  piri-piri sauce (Substitute any other hot sauce)

Preparation

Boil whole unpeeled potatoes until cooked; let cool. Slice thinly.

Grill peppers until skin is charred; let cool. Peel, seed and slice peppers.

Sprinkle fish with paprika and salt; brush lightly with oil to taste. Grill over medium-high heat until fish flakes easily, 8 to 10 minutes per 1 inch/2.5 cm of thickness.

Caper Vinaigrette: Whisk all ingredients together. Makes about 1 cup/250 mL.

Line 4 plates with lettuce. Arrange potatoes over lettuce; top with peppers. Reserving at least 2 tbsp/30 mL, spoon Caper Vinaigrette over salads to taste.

Top with fish; spoon reserved Caper Vinaigrette over fish. Garnish with olives and lemon wedges.

Makes 4 servings.
