Finely dice the onion and tomatoes. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Heat a medium saucepan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 4-5 mins. Add the tomatoes, rice and paprika, cook for 1 min, then crumble in the stock cube. Pour in 400ml hot water (200ml for 1 person) and stir. Simmer for 18-20 mins, until slightly thickened.
Roughly chop the parsley. Quarter the lemon. Cut the pepper into 2cm squares. Heat a small frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on high heat. Add the pepper and cook for 4-5 mins, until deep golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Stir half the parsley and the juice from 2 lemon wedges through the rice. Simmer for another 5 mins, or until the liquid has evaporated and the rice is cooked. Add a splash of water, if needed. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
Bring a small saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Trim the green beans, then add to the pan. Boil for 2-3 mins, until cooked. Drain, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
Reheat the pepper pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Season the fish with sea salt then add to the pan. Cook for 2-3 mins, per side, until cooked through. Return the peppers to the pan for the final minute to heat through.
Serve the rice, cod and green beans on plates with a wedge of lemon. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley.
