Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water. In a pot, combine the rice with 600 ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until tender and water is absorbed.
- While the rice cooks, place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Season the cod fillets with olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the cod fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and flaky.
- In the last few minutes of cooking, either steam or blanch the broccoli florets until bright green and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- On each plate, serve a bed of basmati rice, topped with the seasoned cod, cooked potatoes, and broccoli. Add sliced avocado on the side.
- Finish by garnishing with fresh mint leaves and add a lemon wedge on the side to squeeze over the dish before eating.
