Haddock with passion fruit and lime glazing, coconut rice and pak choi
|
Recipe by: Busy:30 min, Total prep time: 30 min Serves: 4 |
Cut the passion fruits in half and pass their juice through a sieve. Try to get as much juice as possible by scrubbing the seeds against the sieve with the back of a fork.
Mix one teaspoon of seeds with the strained juice. Add the lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, 1 tablespoon of water and reduce into a light syrup in a small saucepan on medium heat, for about 4 minutes.
Dip each fish into the syrup, cover well and place onto a lightly greased oven dish. Pour any remaining syrup on the fish.
Bake at 220 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through.
While the fish is cooking, wash the pak choi leaves and cut in half lengthways. Heat the olive oil in a wok or a frying pan and add the garlic. Sauté on medium low heat until flagrant (1 min) and add the pak choi. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and wilted. Season to taste.
Serve the fish with the rice and the pak choi.
Place the rice in a saucepan with the water, a bit of salt, and the coconut milk. Bring to the boil, cover, and simmer on low heat until all the water has been absorbed, for about 10-12 minutes (depending on the rice, you may need to add a bit more water so check it after 7-8 minutes. If all the water has already been absorbed, quickly boil a bit more in the microwave and add it to the rice )

I used haddock because it is a cheaper fish, and I was really pleased with the outcome. Red snapper or barramundi are ideal fish species for this type of sweet glazing, so try these if you want to make the dish extra special.
