Instructions

Prepare the marinade

(This will be used to glaze the fish and also marinate the vegetables & noodles).

1. In a small bowl mix tamari honey, lime juice & ginger.

Glaze the fish

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius
2. Place fish in baking dish/tray
3. Mix miso paste and 2 tablespoons of marinade in a separate bowl
4. Coat fish with glaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds
5. Place in oven for 20 minutes.

Prepare the vegetables

1. Add coconut oil to large pan and warm before adding spring onion & garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant
2. Add vegetables in order of firmness: asparagus, then broccolini, then lastly choy sum/bok choy. Lightly sauté to soften but don’t overcook as you will lose precious nutrients
3. Remove from heat and stir through spinach leaves, put lid on pan and set aside. The spinach will wilt gently by itself. Add some coriander at this stage too if you like coriander.
