Honey yoghurt is a delicious topping for this Asian inspired fish dish
Ingredients
VEGGIE RICE
- 1 1/2 cups basmati rice
- 2 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 head broccoli, florets roughly chopped
- 1/2 bag baby spinach leaves, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
TANDOORI FISH
- 450g fish fillets
- 50g GF Tandoori paste
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 10g GF sesame seeds
HONEY YOGHURT
- 1/2 cup natural yoghurt
- 1 teaspoon runny honey
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
TO SERVE
- 1 Lebanese cucumber
- 1/2 lemon, cut into wedges
Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper
-
Combine rice, water and salt in a large pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
-
Pat fish dry with paper towels, remove any remaining scales and bones and cut any larger fillets in half. Lay in a single layer on prepared tray and season with salt and pepper. Mix Tandoori paste and mayonnaise together in a small bowl.
-
In another small bowl, mix yoghurt, honey and lemon juice together. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside. Cut cucumber into sticks, about 7cm x 1cm. Bring a full kettle to the boil.
-
Evenly spread Tandoori mixture over fish using the back of a spoon, then sprinkle over sesame seeds. When rice has 8 minutes cook time remaining, bake fish for about 6 minutes (depending on thickness), or until fish is just cooked through.
-
Place chopped broccoli in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave to cook for about 2 minutes, until tender. Drain through a sieve. When rice has finished steaming, fold through spinach, carrot and blanched broccoli. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Spoon veggie rice onto plates and top with Tandoori fish. Drizzle over honey yoghurt and serve cucumber sticks and a lemon wedge on the side.
