Ingredients

Brown Rice

  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1¼ cups water

Spiced Fish

  • 300g fish fillets
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon fish spices
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Spinach and Tomato Salad

  • 1 tomato
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 50g baby spinach

To Serve

  • 50g chermoula mayonnaise

Steps

  1. Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium-high (if using). Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. While rice cooks, pat fish dry and cut any larger fillets in half. Place in a small bowl with flour, fish spices and salt. Toss to coat.
  3. Dice tomato 2cm, peel carrot into ribbons and thinly slice core. Set aside.
  4. While rice steams, heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook fish for 1-2 minutes each side until just cooked through. Add more oil to pan as needed.
  5. Whisk mustard, vinegar and oil in a large bowl. Add all remaining spinach and tomato salad ingredients, toss to combine and season to taste.
  6. To serve, place ¾ cup cooked brown rice onto each plate and top with spiced fish. Drizzle with chermoula mayonnaise and serve spinach and tomato salad on the side.
