3 tbsp canola oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning mix, such as Clubhouse, divided
2 tbsp tomato paste
3/4 cup basmati rice
3/4 cup frozen peas
3/4 cup frozen corn kernels
450 g red snapper fillets, cut into large pieces, patted dry
2 green onions, thinly sliced
HEAT a medium saucepan over medium. Add 1 tbsp oil, then onion, garlic, green pepper and 1 1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, about 4 min. Stir in tomato paste, rice and 1 1/2cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until rice is tender, 10 min. Stir in peas and corn and continue to cook, covered, until vegetables are heated through, about 2 min.
SPREAD remaining 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning on a plate. Coat fish with seasoning.
HEAT remaining 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add fish and cook until a dark crust forms, 1 to 2 min per side. Remove from pan. Stir green onions into rice, then serve with fish.
