Fragrant Stuffed Sea Bass

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / gas mark 6. Cook the rice according to the pack instructions. When cooked, refresh with cold water and drain.
2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the chilli and spring onions and cook until softened. Add the cooked rice, soy sauce, creamed coconut, coriander and lime juice. Cook and stir for a minute until well combined.
3. Place the sea bass on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cut three slits into the flesh of the fish. Spoon the rice into the cavity of the fish. You can tie with string if required. Cover with foil and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and return to the oven for another 15 minutes until done.
4. Once the fish is cooked remove from the oven and leave to rest for a couple of minutes.
5. Place the sesame seeds in a small pan and toast. Do not turn your back on the pan as seeds can burn very quickly. Add the remaining ingredients and heat until just boiling. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve immediately with a selection of vegetables such as pak choi, green beans, courgette and carrot ribbons
