Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Roughly chop cucumber.
• In a small bowl, combine miso paste, the soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil.  

Cook the fish
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Pat barramundi dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
• When oil is hot, cook barramundi, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness).
• Remove from heat, then add the miso mixture, gently turning barramundi to coat.


TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan! 
TIP: Add a splash of water if the glaze looks too thick. 

Heat the rice & toss the salad
3

• When the fish has 5 minutes remaining, microwave basmati rice until steaming, 90 seconds.
• In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, cucumber and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.  

Finish & serve
4

• Divide rapid rice and cabbage-cucumber salad between plates. 
• Drizzle over sesame dressing. 
• Top with glazed miso barramundi and pickled ginger (see ingredients). 
• Sprinkle over mixed sesame seeds (see ingredients) to serve. Enjoy!
