This elegant and healthy dish is sure to impress your dinner guests. Fresh fish is wrapped in parchment paper with a medley of spices and herbs, creating a flavorful and moist dish with minimal clean up.

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 200˚C (400˚F)
2
Add all the rice ingredients in a small saucepan.
3
Bring to a boil, then turn down to a very low simmer before covering with a tight-fitting lid.
4
Cook for 15 minutes. While the rice is simmering, prepare the fish.
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
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
Fold the paper in half and double fold all round to seal in the fish, a bit like a pasty.
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
Meanwhile prepare the dressing. Combine all the ingredients for the dressing, mix well.
10
Serve with salads or seasonal vegetables.
