Cooking Steps

Make the coconut sauce
1

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook ginger lemongrass paste, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in coconut milk, the soy sauce (for the sauce), brown sugar and a splash of water, then simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool slightly.

Cook the barramundi
2

• Wash and dry frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Pat barramundi dry with paper towel and season both sides. • When oil is hot, cook barramundi, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 5-6 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate to rest. TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!

Assemble the slaw
3

• While barramundi is cooking, slice cucumber into half-moons. Remove centre veins from makrut lime leaves, then very finely chop. • In a large bowl, combine cucumber, slaw mix, red butter lettuce, the soy sauce (for the slaw) and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. • Transfer to serving plates.

Finish & serve
4

• Top slaw with seared barramundi. Spoon over coconut sauce. • Sprinkle with makrut lime to serve. Sprinkle over crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
