Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C (400˚F)
- Add all the rice ingredients in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, then turn down to a very low simmer before covering with a tight-fitting lid.
- Cook for 15 minutes. While the rice is simmering, prepare the fish.
- Take 2 large sheets of baking paper, about 20-30 cm (8-12 inches). Fold in half and cut out a heart shape.
- Place a piece of fish on the 1 side of the heart, top with half of the coriander stalks and half of the red onions.
- Fold the paper in half and double fold all round to seal in the fish, a bit like a pasty.
- Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 8 minutes. Once the fish is in the oven remove the rice from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes more. This will further steam the rice, making it soft and sticky.
- Meanwhile prepare the dressing. Combine all the ingredients for the dressing, mix well.
- Serve with salads or seasonal vegetables.
- Enjoy!
