  3. Whisk energetically until well incorporated.
  4. Taste and adjust for salt if necessary.

Barbecue

  1. Prepare the barbecue so the plate is clean and hot.
  2. Brush the leatherjackets with the olive oil and season both sides of each fish with salt.

  4. When the leatherjackets are cooked, serve with a little more of the salsa on the side.
