    • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method: Barramundi with Ginger and Soy
    • Pat the barramundi fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
    • In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil; set aside.
    • Place a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
    • Add the vegetable oil and heat until shimmering but not smoking.
    • Carefully lay the barramundi fillets in the skillet, skin side down if applicable.
    • Sear the fillets for 2–3 minutes until the skin is crisp and the edges turn opaque.
    • Flip the fillets gently and immediately pour the ginger-soy mixture over the fish.
    • Lower the heat to medium and let the fillets cook for another 2–3 minutes, basting occasionally with the pan sauce.
    • Check for doneness: the fish should flake easily with a fork and be just opaque in the thickest part.
    • While the fish finishes, chop the cilantro and green onions if not already prepared.
    • When the fish is done, use a spatula to carefully transfer the fillets to serving plates.
    • Spoon the pan sauce over the fillets.
    • Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions.
    • Serve immediately, paired with steamed rice or sautéed greens if desired.
    • For presentation, arrange fillets slightly overlapping, scatter the herbs on top, and drizzle extra sauce carefully around the fish.
    • Serve hot and enjoy.
