Preparation

Step 1
Insert a double thickness of aluminum foil in broiler, and preheat.
Step 2
Chop whole onion.
Step 3
In a very hot nonstick pan, heat oil; saute onion over medium-high heat until it begins to soften and brown. Stir in rice, stock and turmeric; bring to boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook 17 minutes, until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed.
Step 4
After the rice has been cooking for about 5 minutes, wash and dry the fish, and place it in the broiler. Measure the fish at the thickest part and cook 8 to 10 minutes to the inch. For thick cuts, like swordfish or tuna, turn fish halfway through broiling.
Step 5
Squeeze lime juice over cherries; set aside.
Step 6
Wash, trim and slice scallions; cut banana into small cubes.
Step 7
When rice is cooked, stir in cherries with the lime juice, scallions, banana, salt and nutmeg, and serve with fish.
