Crispy Skin Fish with Veggies & Garlic Rice

I usually don't like the skin on fish (or chicken). But grilled fish with a crispy skin looked very appetizing on TV. For a first try, I decided to keep it simple. This came out well.

For the fish:
2 halves of a filleted fish (with skin) - I used Rawas or Indian Salmon
Seasoning (salt/pepper)
Oil for grilling

Take some kitchen towels and dry out the fish - it might take 2 to 3 tries to get it completely dry. Make small slits on the skin.

Heat oil in a grilling pan. Add the seasoning to it. Wait till the oil is sizzling hot, then lay the fish skin-side down. Don't prod or turn it for 3 to 4 minutes. Cook for another 2 minutes on the other side and it is done!

Steamed Vegetables:
Broccoli
Snow peas
Baby corn
2 tbsp Light soy sauce

Steam the vegetables, top it up with the soy sauce.

Baked Potatoes:
Potatoes
Salt/pepper
Chilli flakes
1 tbsp Olive oil

Cut potatoes in wedges. In a bowl, toss it with the seasoning and bake it in an oven at 180 deg Celsius for about 40 minutes.

Garlic Rice:
2 cups cooked rice
2-3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 tbsp butter
Salt to taste

Add butter to a hot pan, put in the garlic. Just when it starts to brown, add the rice and salt.
