Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Fill and boil your kettle. Tip the rice into a small pan. Pour in 250ml hot water from the kettle. Add a pinch of salt. Cover. Bring to the boil. Turn the heat right down. Simmer for 20-25 mins. Take off the heat. Steam, lid on, for 2-4 mins till the rice is cooked.

  • 2.

    Zest the lime zest into shallow bowl. Squeeze in the juice from half. Add the Thai red curry paste with a good pinch of salt and mix well. Place the cod fillets into the bowl and turn a few times to coat them in the paste. Set to one side.

  • 3.

    Peel and thinly slice the onion and garlic cloves. Thinly shred the kale, discarding any really thick or dry stems. Place the veg onto a roasting tray. Tumble on the cherry tomatoes. Drizzle over 1/2 tbsp oil with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss. Place the cod fillets on to the tray, pouring over any marinade from the bowl.

  • 4.

    When the rice has cooked for 15 mins, slide the tray with the fish and veg into the oven for 15 mins.

  • 5.

    While the rice and fish are cooking, cut the lime half into wedges. Roughly chop the coriander leaves.

  • 6.

    After 15 mins, the cod should be opaque and flake easily when pressed with the back of a fork. Cook a little longer if you need to. Serve the cod and veg with a scoop of rice. Garnish with the coriander leaves and a lime wedge each.
