I haven't tried this yet, but it's on my list. =)
Broiled Fish with Fresh Coconut-Mango Rice
suite101 / (serves 4)
For the Rice:
1 mango, peeled and sliced into small wedges
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup long-grain white rice
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cup fresh coconut water
For the Fish:
4 4-oz boneless whitefish filets
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 red or orange bell pepper, sliced into short, thin strips
olive oil, for drizzling
2 cups grated fresh coconut
1 lime, quartered
Rice:
Set the sliced mango aside until the rice cooks.
Heat a pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the rice and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry 1 minute.
Add the coconut water and bring to a boil. (If you don’t have enough coconut water to cover the rice, add a little regular water.)
Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and cook until rice is tender and fluffy, 15-20 minutes.
Fish:
Preheat the broiler.
Season the filets with salt and pepper and lay on a shallow baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Scatter the bell pepper on top of the fish and drizzle with olive oil.
Broil the fish about 5 minutes, depending on thickness, until almost cooked through.
Remove the pan from the oven and place 1-2 tablespoons grated coconut on top of each filet. Return to the oven and broil 2-3 minutes longer, until coconut begins to brown.
To serve, divide the rice among 4 plates and scatter the remaining grated coconut on top. Scatter sliced mango around the rice and coconut.
Place a filet on top of the rice on each plate and squeeze fresh lime juice over all. Season with a little more salt and pepper, if desired.
