Step 1
Pat the 4 fish fillets dry and rub with the juice of 1 lime and 1 tsp salt. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Brush the fish with 1 tbsp of the oil and grill over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 3
While the fish cooks, slice the 2 red and 2 green chilies into thin rounds.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tbsp oil with a pinch of salt and the sliced chilies to make a quick sambal.
Step 5
Serve the grilled fish topped with the chili sambal and extra lime wedges if desired.
