• 3 heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan, cook the fish quickly till golden brown on both sides & place evenly on top of rice.
• 4 add pepperoni (chorizo or bacon if using) + sliced mushrooms to the frying pan & cook over a fairly high-heat for 3-4 minutes.

• 6 sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top & bake till the cheese is golden brown & bubbling. serve immediately.
