1

Preheat a barbecue or chargrill pan to a medium-high heat.

2

Combine the spice rub ingredients.

3

Rehydrate the corn husks by placing them in a large bowl with boiling water. Lay out the husks on a work surface overlapping to form a piece large enough to wrap and enclose a large fish.

4

Diagonally score the fish on either side and generously baste it with the spice rub, inside and out, then place it on the corn husks.

5

Using kitchen twine, tie the corn husks over the fish.

6

Place the fish over the hot coals or on the grid and cook for 20-30 minutes or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.

7

Meanwhile, prepare the salad. Peel and chop the pineapple into small cubes. Chop the mint and coriander, then toss together with the pineapple.

8

Serve the fish with the pineapple.
