Pan fried fillets of fish covered in a mild guajillo chilli salsa. The rustic flavours of the guajillo chilli are a sharp contrast to the zesty, citrus undertones of the orange juice included in the salsa. All these flavours, in the heat of the pan, leap out of their skin and perform a cheeky hat dance on your palate.
