Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a large frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve & a grater
Cook the rice
- Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain
Do the prep
- Meanwhile, zest and halve the lime. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Deseed and finely chop the chilli. Trim the pak choi and separate the leaves
Make the marinade & roast
- In the small bowl, combine the zest and juice from half the lime, the lemongrass puree, chilli (for those who'd like the heat), garlic and half the tamari
- Place the trout, skin-side down, onto the lined baking tray, coat with the lemongrass mixture and drizzle with 1/2 tbsp oil. Roast for 20 mins, until cooked through
Soften the greens & finish the rice
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pak choi, sugar snaps and remaining tamari. Cook for 3-5 mins, until the veg is soft
- When ready, rinse the rice saucepan, then reheat on medium heat. Add the creamed coconut and a splash of water and stir until dissolved. Add the cooked rice, the remaining lime juice and zest (or to taste) and stir to coat. Season with salt
Plate up
- Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
- Serve the rice and trout into bowls, pouring any remaining sauce from the tray over the trout. Serve the veg alongside and sprinkle with the sesame seeds
