Baked fish with avocado pear sauce

Ingredients
2 kg whole linefish such as kabeljou, cleaned and scraped, but with head and tail intact
salt and black pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, crushed
30 ml freely chopped fresh dill
10 ml grated fresh ginger
10 ml grated lemon rind
30 ml lemon juice
65 ml oil
SAUCE
100 ml cream or smooth cottage cheese
5 ml curry powder
100 ml mayonnaise
100 ml chicken stock
1 large avocado pear, skinned, stoned and finely chopped
30 ml spring onions, finely chopped

Method:
Preheat the oven to 200 ºC (400 ºF). Grease a large sheet of aluminium foil with oil. Make 3 diagonal slashes in the fish, but do not cut all the way through. Season the inside and outside of the fish to taste with salt and black pepper and place on the aluminium foil sheet. Mix the remaining ingredients, except the sauce ingredients, and spoon over the fish. Wrap the fish tightly and leave for about 1 hour. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish is no longer glassy. Unwrap the aluminium foil, turn on the oven grill and grill until golden brown. Place all the ingredients for the sauce, except the spring onions, in a food processor and process until smooth. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Spoon into a small bowl sprinkle with the chopped spring onions and serve with the fish. Serve brown bread on the side. Serves 4-6.
