With its firm texture and slightly buttery flavour, barramundi stands up perfectly to the S&P coating in this Asian-style dish. Team with green beans and a zingy sauce, plus jasmine rice to soak it all up. The current labour shortages have impacted availability of ingredients across the entire food supply chain. As such, what you receive may be slightly different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1
1

Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Add jasmine rice and a pinch of salt. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. Stir the butter through the rice.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

While rice is cooking, trim green beans and cut into thirds. Cut barramundi into 2cm chunks. Crush black peppercorns with a pestle and mortar, or in their sachet with a rolling pin. In a medium bowl, combine cornflour, crushed peppercorns and the salt. Add barramundi, tossing to coat. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey and ginger paste.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook green beans, tossing regularly, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, shake excess flour off barramundi, then cook barramundi, turning occasionally, until golden and just cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
