Cooking Steps
• 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.
• 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!
• While barramundi is cooking, slice cucumber into half-moons. Pick and thinly slice mint leaves. • In a large bowl, combine cucumber, slaw mix, baby spinach leaves, 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.
• Top slaw with seared barramundi. Spoon over coconut sauce. • Sprinkle with mint to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: The coconut sauce was delicious, though some found it too sweet. Several felt the slaw needed more flavour beyond soy sauce.
- Suggestions: Consider offering alternative sides to the slaw. A separate dressing for the salad could enhance its taste.
- Portions: Some found the serving size too small for four people.
