  1. YOU LOOK REALLY RICE

    Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and steam for 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up the rice with a fork.

  2. TOASTED COCONUT

    Place the coconut flakes in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion.

  3. GOLDEN PINEAPPLE

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pineapple rings for 2-3 minutes per side, until charred. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.

  4. RAZZLE DAZZLE RICE

    When the rice is done, place in a bowl. Add the peas, chopped pickled peppers, desiccated coconut, a squeeze of lemon juice, and seasoning. Toss until fully combined.

  5. STICKY MAHI MAHI

    Pat the dorado dry with some paper towel. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the fish skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip, and coat the fish in the Asian sauce. Fry for a further 2-3 minutes until cooked through, continually basting the fish in the sauce.

  6. A HAWAIIAN FEAST!

    Plate up a hearty spoonful of the coconut rice, top with the succulent dorado and drizzle over any remaining pan juices. Side with the charred pineapple and sprinkle over the toasted coconut flakes and fresh coriander. Serve with a lemon wedge. Stunning, Chef!
