FISH WITH TURMERIC & VEGETABLE RICE

Ingredients:

150g white fish fillet
140ml water
65g basmati rice (raw)
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
150g frozen mix vegetable (carrot, beans, broccoli, corn etc…)
1 tablespoon curry paste
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (7g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 lemon, cut into wedges, to serve

Method:

Step 1

Cover and bring the water to the boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice and turmeric and stir to combine. Cover and return to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, partially covered, without stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in vegetables and simmer, covered, for a further 4-5 minutes or until rice and vegetables are tender. Remove the lid and use a fork to fluff the grains of rice. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Meanwhile, combine the curry paste and lemon juice in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over both sides of the fish fillets. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the fish fillets for 2-3 minutes each side or until the flesh flakes with a fork.

Step 3

Spoon the turmeric & vegetable rice evenly among serving plates. Serve immediately with the fish and lemon wedges.
