We prepare a Malaysian sambal paste of onions, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, turmeric and fish sauce, with a hint of chilli and fry it until it is fragrant.  We then add kaffir lime leaves and coconut milk and reduce to a thick marinade.

The Humpty Doo barramundi fillets are marinated in the paste and snap frozen.

The fillets are ready for you to defrost, pan fry and then top with our prepared deliciously chewy, toasty coconut and fried shallot crust before baking in the oven.

Barramundi, red onion, red chilli, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, turmeric, coconut milk, brown sugar, fish sauce, salt, shredded coconut, fried shallots, rice bran oil, kaffir lime leaves, fresh coriander.
