Barbecued kingfish with corn, black bean and avocado salad

Babiche Martens

Fresh kingfish and new season corn make a mid-summer must-try salad. Fresh, tasty and super-quick to prepare, it can be made on the barbecue at home or at your campsite, with limited dishes. This is a perfect recipe if you have spent the day on the beach or are back at work and feel like a light dinner. Add crusty bread to slurp up any juices.
