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

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas 9
  • Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a sieve & a small bowl

Get the rice on & make the marinade

  • Rinse the rice, add to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, then drain
  • Meanwhile, in the small bowl, combine the cornflour, Thai yellow curry paste, the half pack of turmeric, the lemongrass puree, tamari and the half pack of honey

Fish time

  • Place the sea bass onto separate pieces of parchment paper (large enough to make a parcel)
  • Divide the marinade equally between the parcels to coat the fish. Season with salt and pepper
  • Loosely fold the parcels to enclose the fish, then place onto a lined baking tray. Roast for 10 mins, until the fish is cooked through

Roast the veg

  • Trim the broccoli. Trim the pak choi and separate the leaves
  • Add both to the other lined baking tray and toss with 2 tsp oil. Season with salt and pepper
  • Roast in the oven for 10-12 mins, until the broccoli and pak choi are soft

Make the coconut rice

  • When ready, return the rice pan to low heat with the creamed coconut and 80ml water (40ml for 1 person). Stir until melted, then simmer for 1-2 mins, until thickened
  • Stir in the cooked rice until combined and season with salt

Finish & plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Roughly chop the coriander
  • Share the coconut rice and roasted veg between plates, topped with the sea bass. Pour over any fish roasting juices, then garnish with coriander
