method
1. Prepare and wash the fish, pat dry, and cut slashes in a criss-cross pattern on both sides.
2. Make the remaining ingredients into a paste, either in a food processor or blender, or by hand. Smother the fish all over with this marinade, making sure it penetrates all the slashes, and leave it in a cool place for about 2 to 3 hours.
3. Grill the fish under a moderate heat for 5 minutes on each side, brushing the plaice with the remaining paste occasionally.
4. Transfer to warmed plates or a serving dish and dribble the juices from the grill pan over the fish, finishing with a garnish of coriander leaves or parsley.
5. Plain boiled potatoes with chives, and a crisp green salad are good with this, and you could substitute megrim, witch or dab if plaice is not available.
