With summer arriving in Copenhagen, we asked chef Kenneth to fire up the grill and show us how he uses Sea Buckthorn Hot Sauce. He first folds it into a bright salsa to accompany a grilled seabass, then serves everything on warm flatbread straight from the grill.
Ingredients
Salsaย
- 30mlย Seaย Buckthorn Hot Sauceย
- 1 tomatoย
- 1 cucumberย
- 1 tomatilloย
- 1 green bell pepperย ย

ย
Flatbreadย
- 200 g all-purpose flourย

Method
- Cut the tomato, onion, tomatillo,ย cucumberย and pepper finely (brunoise).ย ย
- Add the lemon juice, Sea Buckthorn Hot Sauce, and a pinch of salt. Mix well, then taste and adjust with more lemon,ย hot sauce, or salt as needed.ย
- Let the salsa sit while you prepare the rest of the dish.ย ย
- Pat the butterflied sea bass dry, then rub it generously with olive oil and season with salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.ย
- Add the flour and salt to a bowl. Pour in the warm water and olive oil, then mix until a shaggy dough forms.ย
- Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 20โ30 minutes.ย
- Divide the dough into small balls, then roll each one into a thin round.ย
- Heat the grill to medium-high. Place the sea bass skin-side down and grill until the skin isย crispย and the flesh is mostly opaque, about 5โ7 minutes depending on the size of the fish.ย
- Carefully flip the fish and grill the flesh side for another 1โ2 minutes, just until lightly charred and cooked through. Transfer to a platter and finish with another squeeze of lemon.ย
- Grill the flatbreads for 1โ2 minutes on each side, until puffed in spots and lightly charred. Brush with a little olive oil while warm.ย
