Method
Step 1
To make sambal, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and set aside in fridge.
Step 2
Heat half the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add ginger, garlic and turmeric. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in rice and 1¼ cups water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes, until water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Stir in spinach. Stand covered for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Combine curry paste and remaining oil on a large plate. Add fish and rub with curry mixture to coat.
Step 4
Transfer fish to a baking paper-lined baking tray. Bake in 220 °C preheated oven (fan-forced) for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Step 5
Serve fish with rice and sambal.
Tips
- Check curry paste labels and choose the brand lowest in sodium. Replace panang paste with red or yellow curry paste, if preferred.
