Smoky line fish with rocket and corn
Ingredients
- 2 mielies, husks removed
- 2,5ml (½ tsp) olive oil

Blanch the mielies in rapidly boiling water for 10 minutes, drain and pat dry with paper towel.

Heat a griddle pan. Brush the mielies with the oil and cook over medium heat until char-grilled on all sides. Remove from the pan and slice the corn off the cob. Set aside.

Season the fish and dust with the smoked paprika. Pan-fry in a large frying pan over medium heat until cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and set aside to keep warm.
