Preparation
- Step 1
Steam the fish above 1 inch boiling water for 5 to 7 minutes, until the fish pulls apart into large flakes easily when you poke it with a fork. Remove from the heat and transfer to a colander set in the sink. Allow to cool, then remove any bones and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with half the chopped herbs.
- Step 2
Place the garlic in a mortar and pestle with a generous pinch of salt and mash to a paste. Add the cumin, work in the olive oil with the pestle and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Step 3
Toss the fish with the dressing, the red pepper and the olives. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add the remaining cilantro and mint shortly before serving and toss together.
- Advance preparation: The salad will hold for a few hours in the refrigerator.

Based on where the lemon juice appears in the list of ingredients, it forms part of the dressing, before adding the olive oil. The chives would go with the other herbs.
I substituted some Peppadew peppers from the deli for the whole red pepper, and the dish was delicious. This added just a touch of tangy sweetness.

I can't find the spot where it tells you what to do with the lemon juice? And the chives?
