  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds for about 1 minute; transfer to a large bowl.

    Add vinegar and herbs to the bowl with the cumin, then stir in the fat from the pan. Add the celery, piquillo pepper, potatoes, and chorizo; stir. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Prepare the fish.

    Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat; lightly oil the grates. Place the fish on the grill and brush lightly with the marinade from the bowl. Grill until charred on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until done, about 4 more minutes. Transfer the fish to plates and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with potato salad.
