Notes

1. I used skinless gem fish fillets that I cut in half. You can use any firm fish fillets you want actually! It works really well even with salmon and tuna. The flavour of the spice rub is very strong so it stands up well even with "fishy" fish (like Mackerel).

2. The cook time for fish will differ depending on size. My fillets were 150g/5oz each and about 1.5cm / 3/5" thick at the thickest part. They were at room temperature and took about 2 minutes on each side.

3. Buttery Corn Rice - Combine cooked corn kernels (I usually use frozen), cooked day old rice, chopped shallots/scallions with melted butter, salt and pepper.

4.Nutrition per serving, fish only.
