Gremolata is a traditional Italian herb condiment consisting of fresh lemon zest, minced garlic, Italian flat leaf parsley & a hint of mint. However, changes can be made and you can switch items in and out. Gremolata is a very basic condiment and can be altered to make it go perfectly with many main entrees. The lemon zest, for example, can be replaced with orange zest for a slightly sweeter product, or here I have removed the mint.

Instructions
-
Set a small dry pan over a low heat and toast the walnut halves for 2 minutes until they begin to brown, then immediately remove them from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool.
-
Place the lemon zest, parsley, garlic and olive oil in a medium sized bowl along with the walnuts that have been finely chopped.
-
Lay the fish fillets on a plate and brush 1 tsp of the olive oil over each side and sprinkle 0.25 tsp sea salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper over the fillets.
-
Preheat a gridle pan or heavy skillet over a high heat then brush the pan with the 2 tsp of olive oil. Lay the fillets on the hot pan and immediately reduce the heat to medium. Grill the fillets for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the depth of the fish, then turn over and grill for a further 3 minutes or until the fish is golden in colour and has reached an internal temperature of 65°C, before transferring the fish to a serving platter.
-
Squeeze the lemon over the fillets and top each with 2 tbsp of the gremolata. Serve warm or cold, whilst the gremolata can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
