Barramundi is one of my favourite type of fish to cook and I love locally farmed fish that is direct from farm to my home. If you think that pan frying is a little too troublesome, you can also poach the barramundi fillet directly in the coconut broth for 8-10 mins depending on the thickness of your fillet. I infused the broth with some Thai spices to bring up the aromatic flavour of the broth. A simple yet restaurant worthy dish which you can easily recreate at home!
