Ingredients

2 limes
100g creamed coconut from a block, chopped
1 green chilli , deseeded and roughly chopped
handful coriander
large knob of ginger , peeled and chopped
2 garlic cloves , chopped
½ tsp fish sauce , plus extra to taste
4 pieces white fish , skin on (we used sustainable cod)
steamed rice , to serve
thin-stemmed broccoli , to serve

Steps:

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Zest and juice the limes. In the small bowl of a food processor, whizz together the lime zest and juice with the remaining ingredients, except the fish, until a smooth paste forms. Taste and add a little more fish sauce if you feel it is needed.
Put the fish on a baking tray and spread over the coconut mixture. Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until the fish is cooked through. Serve with steamed rice and thin-stemmed broccoli.
