It doesn't get much better than basa basted in a rich garlicky butter sauce. A helping of something nourishing comes in the form of perfectly charred and softened green beans.

Preparation
1
Make the Rice

  • Rinse the rice to remove excess starch. Pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
  • Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
  • Cook for 10 mins, then remove the pot from the heat.
  • Keep covered for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

2
Get Prepped

  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
  • Quarter the lemon.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Trim the green beans.
  • Trim the carrot and halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.

3
Cook the Veg

  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil
  • Once hot, fry the carrot and green beans until starting to char, 2-3 mins.
  • Lower heat to medium and cook for 1 min then add a splash of water and cover with a lid or some foil.
  • Cook until the veg is tender, 4-5 mins.
  • Drain any excess water and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.

4
Fry the Basa

  • Give the pan a wipe then return to medium-high heat with half a pack of butter (per 2P) and a drizzle of oil
  • Once hot, lay the fillets in the pan and cook for 4-5 mins.
  • Turn over and cook on the other side for a further 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the centre.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

TIP: If you like, add more butter for a creamier sauce.

5
Finish the Sauce

  • Add the garlic and paprika to the pan and cook until fragrant, 1 min. 
  • Squeeze in the juice of half of the lemon wedges.
  • Add the chopped parsley and veg to the pan.
  • Cook until warmed through, 1-2 mins.

6
Garnish and Serve

  • Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between plates.
  • Top with the green beans, carrots and garlic basa.
  • Drizzle over the parsley butter sauce from the pan.
  • Serve remaining lemon wedges on the side.
