What do we have here, then?
Some fish and some vegetables: carrot, cabbage, tenderstem broccoli, courgette and aubergine. The fish is coley, a North Atlantic white fish, less flaky than cod.
Fillet and skin the fish, laying it on some kitchen foil in a steamer. The foil helps lifting the fish out, which can end up falling apart otherwise.
Get the rice cooking.
Cut up the vegetables and arrange them in a steamer with the ones that need less cooking towards the top.
Place both steamers over a pan of boiling water and let it cook through - this will only take a few short minutes.
Push the rice into a ramekin and then invert on the plate for a nice mound shape, arranging the veggies and laying the fish over the top. Garnish. I used some pea shoots and a sprinkle of Icelandic Ash Salt over the fish.
I did some cauliflower rice for my Mrs by simply steaming and crushing a few florets.
There's a little goat yoghurt, dill and lemon juice mayonnaise, too.
My inspiration for this dish was a simple steamed fish lunch at a café in Reykjavik where the 'Fish of the Day' was coupled with pretty much whatever they had ... vegetables and rice; a very welcome lunch.
