Grilled Snapper with Garlic-Lime Watercress Salad
Grilled snapper fillets served over a peppery watercress salad with garlic, lime juice, and diced fresh mango.
Watercress has a natural peppery bite that stands up well to a bold garlic-lime dressing, and it makes a refreshing bed for simply grilled snapper. A little diced mango tucked into the salad adds sweetness without needing anything more elaborate.
Garlic and a big pile of leafy watercress are the stars here, both fitting ingredients for liver-friendly eating, and the fish is grilled rather than fried to keep things light. It's a fast dinner that still feels like a proper meal.
Ingredients
Most ingredients here are everyday market staples across West Africa. A handful of specialty items may be easiest to find at a local open-air market or an African grocery store if you're elsewhere.
