Cooking Instructions

step 1

Pat dry the Whole Barramundi (1) with a paper towel. Marinade the fish with Sea Salt Flakes (2 tsp), Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch), and Oil (1 Tbsp).

step 2

Put Kaffir Lime Leaves (4), Lemongrass (1 stalk), Fresh Cilantro (3 sprigs), Curry Leaves (6), Red Bird's Eye Chili Pepper (1), Garlic (2 cloves), and Lime Zest (1) into a mortar and pestle. Grind until you have a fine paste. Alternatively use a food processor.

step 3

Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add Oil (1 Tbsp), paste from mortar and pestle, and Green Curry Paste (4 Tbsp). Stir fry until aromatic.

step 4

Add Carrots (2) and Celery (2 ribs) and stir fry for a minute. Add Fish Stock (3/4 cup), Granulated Sugar (2 1/3 Tbsp), Fish Sauce (2 Tbsp), and Coconut Cream (3/4 cup). Bring to a boil then turn down to low heat. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.

step 5

Preheat the oven to 120 degrees C (250 degrees F) steam. Place fish in a deep baking tray along with vegetables. Then pour the sauce into the tray with fish.

step 6

Put the tray into shelf 3 (middle of the oven) for 20-25 minutes.

step 7

Transfer fish and vegetables to a plate and pour over the sauce. Garnish with cilantro leaves and Lime Wedges (1). Serve.
