Ingredients

  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs, flakes
  • 2 red chilies, sliced thinly
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons lemon rind, finely grated
  • 60 g butter, melted
  • 4 white fish fillets
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (approx)
  • Coconut Rice
  • 1 1/2 cups white rice (I used Jasmine)
  • 1 cup water
  • 400 ml coconut cream
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 green onions, sliced thinly

Method

  • Pre-Heat oven to 200c.
  • Coconut Rice.
  • Start with the rice.
  • Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear; drain.
  • Combine rice with water, cream and sugar in a saucepan, bring to the boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat; simmer covered, 15-20 Min's or until rice is tender, stir from time to time to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Remove from heat and stand covered for 5 Min's, stir in green onion, reserving a few to use as a garnish for the top.
  • For the Fish.
  • While rice is cooking combine panko flakes, chili, garlic, rind and butter in a bowl.
  • Place fish on an oiled tray or oven proof dish; Drizzle fish with lemon juice, pat crumb mixture onto fish.
  • Cook uncovered 10-15 Min's or until fish is cooked through, if using thin fillets that will cook quick so that the topping will not brown and crisp, just turn the grill on for a few minutes towards the end of cooking to brown.
  • My Fish cooked perfectly in 15 minutes and gave a wonderful brown crispy coating to the topping.
  • To serve: Place fish on plate serve rice on the side garnish rice with green onion.
