Ingredients

  1. 4 snapper fillets (about 150–180g each)
  2. 3 tablespoons Massaman curry paste
  3. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  4. Salt and pepper, to taste
  5. 200g green beans, trimmed
  6. 200g mushrooms, sliced
  7. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  8. 1 red capsicum (bell pepper), thinly sliced
  9. 2 tablespoons lime juice
  10. 1 teaspoon sugar
  11. 2 tablespoons butter
  12. Yoghurt (optional, for serving)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Whisk curry paste and oil in a small bowl.
  2. Place fish, skin-side down, on tray and brush with paste mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes or until just cooked. Rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, blanch the beans in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 1 1/2 minutes or until slightly softened. Drain, refresh in iced water, then drain again.
  4. Heat butter in a large, heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic, then stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add beans, capsicum, lime juice, and sugar, then stir-fry for a further 2 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
  5. Divide stir-fry among plates and top with fish. Serve with yoghurt, if using.

Chef's Tip

Snapper has a naturally light, delicate flavour, so bold ingredients like Massaman curry paste work best when used with restraint. Baking the fish gently helps keep the flesh moist and flaky in the center while allowing the aromatic spices to develop without overpowering the seafood. Fresh lime at the finish lifts the richness and keeps the dish balanced, vibrant, and full of fresh Thai-inspired flavour.
