Serves 4 - 6 

Ingredients: 

2 pounds fish fillets 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro 2 tablespoons fresh mint or basil 6 Chilies, or substitute red jalapenos, seeds and stems removed, chopped 5 tablespoons ground cumin 5 tablespoons grated coconut 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon chopped garlic or onion 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger 2 tablespoons oil 1/2 cup lime juice 

Place the fish in a shallow dish to marinate. Put the cilantro, mint, and chilies in a blender or food processor. 

Add cumin, coconut, salt, garlic and ginger. Blend to a fine paste. 

Mix in one tablespoon each oil and lime juice. Coat fish with the spice mixture and leave to marinate for 30 minutes. 

Preheat the broiler pan on high. Brush oil on the pan to prevent sticking. Put the fish under the broiler for 2 minutes, then reduce heat or lower pan, and grill, basting with remaining lime juice, until fish is cooked but not dry.
