Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Turn the grill to high (240C)
  • Line a baking tray with silver foil
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a sieve, a large frying pan or wok, a grater & a measuring jug

Get the rice on & prep the veg

  • Rinse the rice
  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25 mins, then drain
  • Trim and cut the green beans into thirds. Cut the courgettes into half-moons. Rinse the spinach
  • Finely chop the coriander. Zest and quarter the lime

Combine the flavours

  • Heat the large frying pan or wok with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the green beans and courgettes
  • Cook for 3-4 mins until softening, then add the half pack of turmeric, the Thai green paste, Thai red paste and lemongrass puree. Cook for 1 min
  • Add the tamari, half of the coconut milk and 150ml water
  • Simmer for 5-6 mins, until the sauce has reduced and the veg softened. Stir in the spinach in the final minute

Time to grill

  • Place the sea bass skin-side up on the foil-lined tray. Season with salt and drizzle with 1 tsp oil
  • Grill for 9 mins, until the skin is crispy.
  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork

Meanwhile, make the coconut lime rice

  • Reheat the empty saucepan on medium-high heat and add the remaining coconut milk
  • Simmer for 5-7 mins, until the coconut milk has reduced by half and thickened
  • Stir in the cooked rice, zest and juice from the lime, then season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Serve the double curry and rice into bowls. Top with the crispy sea bass and garnish with the coriander
