Season with ¾ teaspoon of salt and plenty of pepper, then pour over the butter and 800ml/1½ pints boiling water. Top with the sprigs of mint and cover the dish tightly with kitchen foil so that the rice is well sealed. Bake for 25 minutes, until the rice is light and fluffy and all of the liquid has been absorbed. Lightly season the fish with a third of a teaspoon of salt. Set aside. Heat the oil into a large, lidded sauté pan over a medium–high heat. Add the chillies and fry for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
