Barbecued red mullet with a hot salsa

When cooking fish, you don't have to stick to soft herbs like tarragon or dill – gutsy, woody herbs like oregano, thyme or rosemary are great with fish like red mullet. In the UK, red mullet are hard to get hold of at the moment. Make sure your fish is from a sustainable source, and if you can't find sustainable red mullet, go for small red snapper instead.
