Ginger Barramundi

Barramundi with Ginger Broth and Green Veg

I can tell that the weather has cooled lately just by the food I have been cooking and dreaming about. Gone are the salads and stir frys of warmer weather and in have come soups, stews and warming comfort food. There’s nothing better than tucking into a bowl of tasty goodness that warms from the inside out when you are feeling cold. To be honest, I sometimes find it hard to balance that comfort factor with keeping the meals healthy however this barramundi with ginger and green veggies really ticked all the boxes for me.

When I made this dish I was craving a few different things. I wanted the comfort of a broth, the heartiness of a noodle dish, something with fish and overall just really healthy. The barramundi ticked the fish craving – it was melt in your mouth delicious. I decided that I’d replace my noodles with zucchini ribbons and they were amazing. The vegetable combination from the zucchini noodles to broccoli to raw snow peas provided contrasting textures. Then the intense ginger broth tied it all together. It was so tasty I didn’t want my bowl to end!

This is one bowl of goodness that will be making many an appearance around my table.

Ginger Barramundi

Ingredients

2-3 C water
Chicken stock powder
1 carrot
1 head garlic
15cm knob of ginger
Handful of coriander stalks and roots
1T of whole peppercorns
2 x 150g barramundi fillet
2 medium zucchinis
A large handful of broccoli
¼ small wombok cabbage
6 snow peas
2 spring onions
½ bunch coriander
Shichimi Togarashi spice mix, optional
Few drops sesame oil
1 lime
Soy sauce, to taste

Instructions

1
Roughly chop the carrot, ginger and garlic (skin and all) and place in a large saucepan with the water, stock powder, coriander and peppercorns. Bring to the boil then simmer, covered, for about half an hour.
2
While the broth is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Make zucchini ribbons using a vegetable peeler (or you could make zoodles). Cut the broccoli into small florets. Cut the wombok in half lengthways then slice into 1-2 cm strips. Trim the snow peas and slice thinly. Slice the spring onions and teat the coriander.
3
When the broth is ready, strain the liquid off and return it to the saucepan, discarding the solids. Return to a simmer.
4
To cook the fish, heat a frying pan until very hot. Add a few drops of sesame oil to the pan and cook the barramundi. This should take around 3 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your fillets.
5
When you turn the barramundi, add the broccoli to the broth to cook. After 1 minute add the zucchini noodles.
6
Divide the raw wombok between 2 soup bowls. Place half the zucchini noodles and broccoli into each bowl and top with the snow peas. Place a piece of barramundi into each bowl. Pour the broth over the vegetables then add the coriander and spring onions.
7
To serve, squeeze over the juice of half a lime, a drizzle of soy sauce and a sprinkle of shichimi togarashi.
