Before you start

  • Preheat the grill to high (240C)
  • Line a baking tray with silver foil
  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil

Get started

  • Season the hake with salt, then place onto the foil lined baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil and grill for 10 mins
  • After 10 mins, spread the Thai paste and honey over the hake. Grill for a further 6 mins, until cooked through

Do the prep

  • Meanwhile, slice the corn into 1cm rounds widthways. Trim and cut the pak choi into bite-sized pieces, keeping the stalks and leaves separate. Slice the spring onion into 2cm pieces. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Roughly chop the coriander
  • Add the quinoa to the pan of boiling water and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain and allow to cool

Time to stir fry

  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the corn, pak choi stalks and onion and cook for 2-3 mins, then add garlic and cook for a further 1 min
  • Stir in the miso paste, pak choi leaves and a splash of water and cook for a further 1-2 mins
  • When ready, add the cooked quinoa, three-quarters of the coriander and the juice of the lime to the pan and stir to combine. Taste and season if needed

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Share the quinoa and veg between plates, topped with the hake. Sprinkle with the remaining peanuts and coriander to finish
