Ingredients:
  • 25.20 gm coconut oil
  • 1 small brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 200g (1 cup) basmati rice
  • 250ml (1 cup) salt-reduced chicken stock
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) coconut milk, plus extra, to drizzle
  • 100g cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 long fresh red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped
  • 1 ⁄250.00 ml chopped fresh coriander leaves
  • 1 lime, rind finely grated, halved
  • 4 (about 500g) skinless snapper fillets
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan forced. Heat oil in an ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for 3 minutes until softened. Add ground coriander and turmeric, cook for 1 minute until aromatic. Stir in rice for 1 minute until coated. Pour in stock and 125ml (1/2 cup) coconut milk, bring to a simmer. Cover and bake for 15 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix together tomatoes, chili, and coriander. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture and season generously.
  • Lay the fish over the rice and add lime zest, followed by a squeeze of the remaining lime. Season the fish and bake covered for 5 minutes. Then, drizzle the fish with the rest of the coconut milk and continue baking uncovered for another 5 minutes until the fish is cooked through. Serve topped with salsa and a touch of extra coconut milk.
