Ingredients

Rice

  • 1 1/2 cups basmati rice
  • 2 1/4 cups boiling water
  • 1 pack roasted capsicum, roughly diced
  • 250g frozen corn
  • 1 spring onion white part, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp Cajun spices
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

Fish

  • 1 pack market fish
  • Remaining Cajun spices

To Serve

  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 spring onion green part, thinly sliced

  • 1 pack chipotle aioli

Steps

  1. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Cook rice. Combine rice, boiling water measure and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling, reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 5 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. Prep & cook veggies for rice. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on high heat. Cook roasted capsicum, corn and spring onion (white part) for 5 minutes, until starting to char. Add first measure of Cajun spices and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from pan, toss with lime juice and season to taste. Set aside and keep warm. Wipe pan clean and reserve.
  3. Prep & cook fish. Pat fish dry, remove any remaining scales or bones and cut any larger fillets in half. Season and toss in a bowl with remaining Cajun spices. Heat a drizzle of oil in reserved fry-pan on medium-high heat and cook fish for 1-2 minutes each side, until cooked through.
  4. Prep tomato & spring onion. Toss together with remaining lime juice. Season and set aside to serve.
  5. Finish rice. Fold cooked veggies through rice and season to taste.
  6. Serve rice and fish topped with tomato, spring onion and chipotle aioli.
