Instructions

  1. Trim and halve two of the spring onions and put in a large, deep saucepan with the rice, coconut milk, kidney beans and their liquid, thyme, 1 whole Scotch bonnet chilli, cloves, salt and 200ml of water. Stir together and bring to the boil over a high heat. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave, covered, for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, rub the jerk paste over the fish, cover and leave to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  3. Finely chop the remaining Scotch bonnet chilli half, removing any seeds. Trim and finely chop the remaining spring onion. Add both to a bowl with the tomatoes, cucumber, and lime juice. Season to taste.
  4. Mist a large nonstick griddle pan with cooking spray and set over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fish, skin-side down, and griddle for 6 minutes, turning once, until cooked through. Serve the fish with the rice and peas, and the salsa.
