Cooking rice

:

I used instant pot ,add everything together in instant pot and put on high pressure setting for 28 minutes,let release naturally till all steam out then fluff rice with fork,

Easy peasy!

Cooking veggies:

I cooked them one by one and kept oven on at 300 and put the cooked ones there to keep warm

Heat the pan add oil fry potatoes till little browned,not moving them too much,after 4-5 minutes when done and crisp remove from pan

Then i just fried in same one one by one all veggies ,again not moving to much to char them a bit

At the end i just sprinkle salt and black pepper

Fish:

Put your oven to medium broiler setting now

Add more oil if needed to same pan

Put fish skin side down on medium heat cook 10 minutes uncovered and then 5-7 minutes covered,don’t flip the fish

Then using spoon add the same oil in pan on top of fish and put your pan in oven at broiler setting for 5-8 minutes till golden brown

In your dish add rice at bottom,sprinkle some cilantro on it

Add veggies as you like in the sides and put fish in it

Add rest of cilantro and chives to garnish
