Method

  1. Step 1

    To make the pickled cucumber salad, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt in a bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add the cucumber and toss to coat. Set aside, stirring occasionally, for 15 mins to allow the flavours to develop. Drain the cucumber and place in a bowl. Add the spring onion, coriander and chilli, if using, and toss to combine.
  2. Step 2

    Combine the miso, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic in a shallow bowl, stirring until miso dissolves.
  3. Step 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 3-4 mins each side or until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Add the miso mixture to the pan with 1/3 cup (80ml) water. Bring to the boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 min.
  4. Step 4

    Divide the rice and pickled cucumber salad among serving plates. Top rice with the fish and drizzle with miso mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and coriander leaves. Serve with lime wedges.
