Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 small brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
  • 1/4 tsp garam masala
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 240g baby spinach leaves
  • 270ml coconut cream
  • 4 (about 180g each) Pearl Seafood Barramundi Fillets
  • Freshly cooked basmati rice, to serve
  • 1 cup fresh coriander leaves and tender stems

Steps

  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.
