Ingredients
Rice Salad
- 75g brown rice
- 1 capsicum, thinly sliced
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, peeled into ribbons
- 50g baby spinach
Fish
- 300g snapper fillet
- 1/8 cup light coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp Thai green curry paste

- 1/4 cup light coconut milk
- 1/4 tsp Thai green curry paste

- 1 Tbsp makrut lime emulsion

Steps
-
Preheat oven grill to high. Bring a pot of unsalted water to the boil (see tip).
-
Add rice to pot of boiling water. Bring back to the boil and cook rice (ensuring a rapid boil) for about 20 minutes, or until grains are tender. Meanwhile, thinly slice capsicum (S2 & S4 only) and peel cucumber into ribbons. Drain rice well when cooked.
-
Pat fish dry, remove any remaining bones or scales and cut larger fillets in half. Whisk first measures of coconut milk and Thai green curry paste together in a bowl. Add fish, season with salt and toss to coat. Lay on a foil-lined oven tray and leave to marinate.
-
In a salad bowl, whisk all coconut vinaigrette ingredients together. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
-
Grill fish in oven for 4-5 minutes (depending on thickness), or until cooked through.
-
Add cooked rice and remaining salad ingredients to bowl with vinaigrette. Toss to combine and season to taste with salt.
-
Portion rice salad and top with fish, makrut lime emulsion and coriander.
