Grilled Fish with Poke Sauce and Tabbouleh Salad

Lighter meals for warm weather is the continuing theme. The ever-refreshing flavors of tabbouleh salad with a little piece of grilled rockfish will do the trick this evening. The fish is drizzled with Poke sauce (pronounced poh-kay), a spicy and salty toasted sesame sauce with fresh ginger and fresh green onions (or shallots). One often finds poke served over raw fish in sushi preparations, but it’s terrific over cooked fish as well.

This light summer meal is certainly better than a “poke with a sharp stick.” You’ll have leftover tabbouleh.
