  • 28g Red Onion, small dice
  • 1 each Jalapeno, minced no seeds
  • 35g Lime, juice
  • 7g Cilantro, chopped (no stem)
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt

For the Coconut Rice

  1. For the Marinated Blue Cod: Thaw Blue Cod fillets overnight, under refrigeration & preferably in a perforated drip pan wrapped in plastic. Pat fillets dry with a clean towel or paper towel.
  2. Add all of the ingredients for the Citrus Marinade to a shallow container and mix well to combine.
  3. Place the Blue Cod fillets into the mixture and allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  4. For the Coconut Rice: Combine all ingredients in a heavy bottomed saucepan and place on the stovetop over a medium-high setting. Stir briefly to mix and break up any clumps of rice and then allow the pan to come to a simmer undisturbed.
  5. Cover the pan and leave to simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until all of the liquid has been fully absorbed. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for approximately 10 minutes before fluffing the rice before serving.
  6. For the Avocado-Pineapple Salsa: Add the avocado and the lime juice to a medium sized bowl and gently toss to coat the avocado completely. Add all of the remaining ingredients and mix well. Reserve the salsa for service.
  7. To Cook the Blue Cod: Preheat your oven to 190°C. Remove the fillets from the marinade gently shaking off any excess. Place the fillets onto a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the fillets are completely cooked and have reached an internal temperature of 62°C.
  8. To Finish: Divide the coconut rice equally between four plates. Place a fully cooked Blue Cod portion atop the rice and spoon a generous serving of salsa across the top. Garnish with a few lime wheels and serve.
