3.

Cut 2 [4] pieces of baking paper (or tin foil) approx. the size of A3 sheets of paper

Add the sheets of baking paper to a large baking tray (doubling it up prevents any leakages!)

Scrunch the edges of the baking paper together around the fish to form a sealed parcel

Put the baking tray in the oven for 15 min or until the fish is cooked and the pak choi is tender

Tip: your fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily

Meanwhile, add the basmati rice and 300ml [600ml] cold water to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving

Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime into wedges

Chop the coriander finely, including the stalks 

Strip the mint leaves from the stalks and chop finely
