Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Massaman curry paste (see note)
  • 2 tbsp peanut oil
  • 4 x 200g pieces snapper fillet, pin-boned, skin on
  • 300g green beans, trimmed
  • 80g butter, chopped
  • 250g shiitake mushrooms, quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red capsicum, seeded, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • Tamar Valley Greek Style Yoghurt (optional), to serve

Steps

  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.
