Baked White Fish with Mushroom Orzo

Charmaine Lu -
  • 3 tbsp seasoned flour
  • 4 firm white fish fillets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zested and sliced
  • ½ bunch of thyme
  • 2 sliced leeks
  • 200g sliced white mushrooms
  • 300g orzo
  • 500ml vegetable stock
  • 2 tbsp crème fraîche
  • Preheat the oven to 220C. Tip the flour into a bowl, then add the fish fillets and coat thoroughly. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and cook the fish on both sides for about 2 mins or until golden. Transfer the fish to a roasting tin, place the lemon slices on top and nestle in half the thyme. Roast for 10 mins.
  • Add the remaining oil to the frying pan and cook the mushrooms and leeks for 5 mins to soften. Add the orzo, pour in the stock, then cook for 10 mins - stirring all the time - until tender. Stir through the lemon zest and crème fraîche, season well, then serve alongside the fish fillets with the lemon slices on top.
