Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Rice

    Rinse the forbidden black rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of black rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Miso Honey Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, honey, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Papaya Relish

    In a bowl, combine the diced papaya with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently and set aside.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the vegetable mix and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Crust and Cook the Fish

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Press the chopped macadamia nuts onto the top of each fillet to form a crust. Place the crusted fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the nuts are golden.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, serve a portion of black rice topped with sautéed vegetables. Place the mac-nut crusted fish on top and drizzle with miso honey sauce. Finish with a spoonful of papaya relish on the side.
