    great dish! fast and healthy! I mixed the curry paste with a little water to make it fluid enough to brush it on. the salad looks simple, but tastes fantastic!

    This was amazing and wonderfully quick. I prepared the fish earlier in the day and just left it to marinade. I served it with the fragrant spiced rice which went very well with it.

    This was really quick, easy and yummy. Mine didn't look like the photo so I will try adding water to the paste next time as suggested above. I used frozen haddock loin and served it with Tilda sweet chilli microwave rice for quickness. DH didn't like avocado nor cucumber before......he does now!

    So easy, so delicious. The timing of the three separate steps (rice, fish, salad) works well too, so there's no rushing around with everything happening at once. I boiled some regular brown rice and made the salad and fish in the half an hour it took to cook - no point in using instant rice, it won't really speed up the process. Thinned the curry paste out slightly with water as suggested above to coat the fish evenly. Added a couple of drops of fish sauce to the salad dressing, it tasted great with a very subtle, almost un-noticable honey flavour. Very filling but feels really healthy with virtually no fat. Will definitely make again.

    Super quick, super easy and super tasty! I used frozen basa fillets which worked well and followed the tip about watering down the paste which made it much easier to apply.
