Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200˚C (400˚F)

2. 2

   Add all the rice ingredients in a small saucepan.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil, then turn down to a very low simmer before covering with a tight-fitting lid.

4. 4

   Cook for 15 minutes. While the rice is simmering, prepare the fish.

5. 5

   Take 2 large sheets of baking paper, about 20-30 cm (8-12 inches). Fold in half and cut out a heart shape.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   Fold the paper in half and double fold all round to seal in the fish, a bit like a pasty.

8. 8

   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.

9. 9

   Meanwhile prepare the dressing. Combine all the ingredients for the dressing, mix well.
