Method

Rice salad

1.Cook rice in a large saucepan of boiling water for 25 minutes or until tender. Drain. Rinse under cold water. Drain well. Set aside to cool.

2.Combine rice, celery, capsicum, parsley and walnuts in a large bowl. Add rice and toss to combine.

3.Whisk oil, juice and garlic in a small jug; pour over salad. Toss to coat salad. Arrange on a plate.

Lemon garlic fish

4.Combine zest, juice, garlic, paprika and oil in a small bowl. Add fish. Turn to coat.

5.Heat a large oiled frying pan over moderate heat. Cook fish for 2-3 minutes each side or until just cooked.

6.Serve fish over salad, with lemon wedges.

For salad, use either white rice or wild rice blend; reduce cooking time according to packet instructions. Use any firm white fish fillet, such as snapper, ling or barramundi. Don’t leave fish to marinate in the lemon mixture; the acid in the lemon will start to cook the fish white standing.
