Seafood jambalaya

1. Boil the eggs for 9–10 minutes. Peel, halve and set aside until ready to use.
2. Heat a grill and brush lightly with oil. Grill the yellowtail skin-side down for 5 minutes, then carefully turn over using tongs and cook for a further 5 minutes. Squeeze over some lemon juice. Flake the fish into chunky pieces and place in a bowl.
3. Cook the rice in boiling, salted water for 10 minutes until cooked through, then fluff with a fork.
4. Heat a large pan and add the olive oil and butter. Gently fry the onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric and mustard seeds and fry for a further 2 minutes, then add the curry powder.
5. Stir and fry until the curry has cooked a bit, about 3 minutes, then add the cooked rice and stir in the onion mixture. Add the fish and eggs and serve warm topped with the spring onions.
