Method

Heat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. Slice each fish loin in half and put 2 pieces in the centre of each piece of baking paper. Add a few slices of ginger and chilli, a splash of lime juice and a lime wedge, then bring the baking paper edges together to make parcels. Seal by either stapling the edges or twisting, folding and pleating them. Put on a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes until the fish flakes easily.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan. Add the rest of the ginger and chilli, the garlic and red cabbage. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes to soften. Add the soy sauce, the cooked rice and the rest of the lime juice and zest, then stir-fry for 5 minutes until hot through. Add a splash of water if it sticks. Stir in the coriander, season and serve with the fish.
