Steps

  1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil.
  2. Serve veggie rice topped with fish and mango yoghurt and squeeze over lemon.
  3. Prep & cook rice. In a small pot, combine rice, stock, lemon zest, corn and a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, cover with a lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 16 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  4. Prep & cook veggies. Cook broccoli in pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Drain.
  5. Place all veggie ingredients in a large bowl.
  6. Make mango yoghurt. In a small bowl, mix together yoghurt and mango coconut sauce. Season.
  7. Prep fish. Coat fish with Cajun spice mix and season.
  8. Cook fish. When rice has about 5 minutes steam time remaining, heat ¾ tsp oil in a large, non-stick fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook fish in two batches, for 1-2 minutes each side, until just cooked through. Use ¾ tsp more oil for second batch.
  9. Finish rice. Fluff up cooked rice and add to bowl with veggies, along with broccoli. Toss to combine and season.
  10. Prep lemon.
