Ingredients

  1. 4 Barramundi fillets
  2. 1 tablespoon olive oil (for spinach)
  3. 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  6. 1 teaspoon garam masala
  7. 1 teaspoon cumin
  8. 1 teaspoon turmeric
  9. 1/4 teaspoon salt (for spinach)
  10. 300g fresh spinach
  11. 1 can (400ml) coconut cream
  12. 1 tablespoon olive oil (for fish)
  13. Fresh coriander (for garnish)

Method

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until almost tender. Add the garlic, ginger, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, and ¼ tsp salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes or until the garlic and ginger
    are fragrant and the onion is tender. Add the spinach in batches, stirring after each addition until the spinach wilts.
  2. When all the spinach has wilted, add the coconut cream and bring the mixture to the boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes to blend the flavors and slightly reduce the
    liquid.
  3. Meanwhile, pat the barramundi completely dry. Heat a large, heavy non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Season the barramundi with salt. Place skin-side down in the pan. Cook,
    pressing down on the barramundi for the first 2 minutes, for 5 minutes or until the skin is crisp and golden brown. Turn the barramundi over and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  4. Spoon the rice and spinach mixture onto serving plates. Top with the barramundi, skin-side up. Sprinkle with coriander. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip

Barramundi pairs beautifully with warm spices and coconut because its clean, mild flavour absorbs richness without becoming heavy. For perfectly crispy skin, make sure the fillets are very dry before they hit the pan and avoid moving them too early. The creamy spinach should stay silky and lightly spiced, allowing the fresh barramundi to remain the hero of the dish.
