I found this recipe in Delicious magazine this month and I just had to try it out. I almost tried it before I was even fasting! It was easy to prepare taking minutes to make the marinade. THe marinade itself really infused the fish with flavour. I got hubby to fire up the bbq to grill the fillets, but doing it on an inside grill plate would have been just fine. Green rice is an unusual but truly taste provoking dish. I highly recommend you try. Happy cooking and happy advent fasting all xx
