Grilled Fish with Oregano Sauce – Pesce al Salmoriglio is a classic Italian dish of simple ingredients in the best way. The result is a dish that is full of flavour, filling and a gentle aroma that welcomes guests to the table. I have tried several different fish for this recipe and found that Cod, Haddock and Swordfish work the best. The base of the sauce is oregano, garlic and lemon juice which combine to create a subtle but flavour. They all absorb the flavour of the sauce without losing their own identity. This is an ideal main dish served on a bed of rice or pasta such as Fusilli.
