Ingredients

Method

Heat the oven to 200 C (400 F) and line a tray with parchment.
Mix the zest, half the lime juice, chilli, cumin, oil, garlic and salt.
Dry the fillets and rub with the mixture.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes until opaque and flaking.
Squeeze over the remaining lime juice.
Top with coriander and serve with rice.

Tips

Add chilli gradually if serving children. Check the thickest part: the flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork, and you should follow your food-safety agency guidance on safe internal temperature.

Storage

Cool promptly, then refrigerate in a sealed container and eat within the period recommended by your local food-safety agency. Reheat gently until steaming hot, or serve cold in salads and sandwiches.
