Martinique (#37) Sauce au Chien

One of Martinique’s most popular dishes is fish served with sauce au chien (translation, dog sauce).  There are several variations, just as there is with Mexican salsa, and the one I made was simple and so delicious.  It’s made with finely chopped green onions, parsley, garlic, Scotch Bonnet peppers, and lime zest.  The mixture is salted, and boiling water is poured over it.  After allowing it to sit for 5-10 minutes, equal parts of lime juice and olive oil are whisked in.  I pan-fried tilapia and made rice, then topped them with the sauce au chien.  I’m so glad I discovered this recipe and plan on making it the next time I grill shrimp.
