Chili And Lemon Crumbed White Fish With Coconut Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups panko breadcrumbs, flakes
    2 red chilies, sliced thinly
    3 garlic cloves, crushed
    2 teaspoons lemon rind, finely grated
    60 g butter, melted
    4 white fish fillets
    1 tablespoon lemon juice (approx)
    Coconut Rice
    1 1/2 cups white rice (I used Jasmine)
    1 cup water
    400 ml coconut cream
    1 teaspoon sugar
    2 green onions, sliced thinly
Preparation
    Pre-Heat oven to 200c.
    Coconut Rice.
    Start with the rice.
    Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear; drain.
    Combine rice with water, cream and sugar in a saucepan, bring to the boil, stirring occasionally.
    Reduce heat; simmer covered, 15-20 Min's or until rice is tender, stir from time to time to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
    Remove from heat and stand covered for 5 Min's, stir in green onion, reserving a few to use as a garnish for the top.
    For the Fish.
    While rice is cooking combine panko flakes, chili, garlic, rind and butter in a bowl.
    Place fish on an oiled tray or oven proof dish; Drizzle fish with lemon juice, pat crumb mixture onto fish.
    Cook uncovered 10-15 Min's or until fish is cooked through, if using thin fillets that will cook quick so that the topping will not brown and crisp, just turn the grill on for a few minutes towards the end of cooking to brown.
    My Fish cooked perfectly in 15 minutes and gave a wonderful brown crispy coating to the topping.
    To serve: Place fish on plate serve rice on the side garnish rice with green onion.
