Steps:
- Heat water, onion, butter, curry powder, and salt in a large skillet over medium heat until butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Stir rice into onion mixture and arrange frozen white fish over rice. Sprinkle with almonds.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fish should be heated through, and the flesh should be opaque and flake easily. Mix in peas and fluff rice with a fork before serving.

STEAMED FISH WITH LIME AND CHILE
This is the definition of minimalist Thai cooking. The steam not only gently cooks the fish until just tender but also creates an instant, complex sauce from a handful of basic ingredients. Scoring the fish's flesh allows more of the flavor to season the fish and facilitates faster steaming. The fish is cooked on a plate that fits inside the steamer, to catch the juices.

Steps:
- In a clay mortar, lightly pound garlic, cilantro stems, and chiles with a wooden pestle until a coarse paste forms. Add 2 tablespoons lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and pepper; mix with a spoon to combine. (Alternatively, pulse in a mini-processor until a loose paste forms.) Set sauce aside.
- Place fish on a plate that will fit inside the steamer with some wiggle room; pour reserved paste over. In a wide pot, add water to a depth of 1". Bring to a boil. Transfer fish on plate to steamer. Set steamer over pot and pour chicken broth over fish. Cover; steam fish until cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
- Using 2 large spatulas, transfer fish to a serving platter. Spoon juices on plate in steamer over fish. Drizzle with lime juice, if desired. Garnish with lime slices and cilantro leaves. Serve with steamed rice.
CHILI AND LEMON CRUMBED WHITE FISH WITH COCONUT RICE
This is super simple on the table in about 30Min's and tastes wonderful. You can use whatever is your favourite white fish, John Dory, Perch, Cod, Bream etc.. I made this with panko flakes ( A Japanese breadcrumb available at some supermarkets and most Asian supermarkets.) so am not sure how crispy it will come out with regular breadcrumbs.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fish that is firm and has a mild, briny smell. Avoid fish that is mushy or has a strong, fishy odor.
- Cook the fish gently: White fish is delicate, so it's important to cook it gently to prevent it from becoming dry or tough. Bake or steam the fish until it is just cooked through, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Make sure the crumb coating is crispy: The crumb coating on the fish should be crispy and golden brown. To achieve this, use a combination of breadcrumbs, flour, and butter. You can also add herbs and spices to the crumb coating for extra flavor.
- Serve the fish with a flavorful sauce or garnish: A flavorful sauce or garnish can help to elevate the dish and make it more special. Try serving the fish with a lemon-herb sauce, a tomato-based sauce, or a simple sprinkling of fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Chili and lemon crumbed white fish with coconut rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is tender and flaky, the crumb coating is crispy and flavorful, and the coconut rice is creamy and aromatic. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
