Baked Barramundi with Asian Aromatics and Herbs
Ingredients
- 1 whole 2kg Barramundi
- 1 bunch coriander
- 1 bunch mint
- 2 shallots
- 3 spring onions
- 1 inch knob garlic
- 1 large red chili
- 1 cup peanut oil
- 1 jar oyster sauce
- Salt and pepper
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Line a large oven tray with foil and then place a sheet of baking paper over the foil.
Place the fish on the tray and add the coriander roots and shallots to the inside of the fish along with a generous seasoning of salt and pepper.
Generously rub the fish in oyster sauce, flip and coat the other side.
Wrap the fish in the baking paper and foil by folding the sides and corners in, so it is tight enough not to lose the flavor but loose enough to allow the fish to steam.
Bake for about 40 minutes (check at 40, you may need more time).
Once the fish is done, remove from the oven and wrapping and serve it onto a platter.
Place the oil in a small pot and heat until it smokes, then add all the remaining aromatics, stir through, remove from heat and pour over the fish.
Garnish with the picked coriander and mint and serve.
