Servings
Ingredients
- 3 barramundi fillets
- 3/4 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 2 cups water
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 bunch coriander
- 1 tsp chilli
- 1 tbsp paprika
- salt, to taste
- almonds
- pine nuts
- ghee
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (392°F).
- 2Place the barramundi fillets on a baking tray, sprinkle with salt, and set aside.
- 3In a bowl, combine the tahini and lemon juice; whisk until thickened, then gradually add water, stirring until the mixture reaches a thin, pourable consistency.
- 4Heat a skillet with a little ghee, add the crushed garlic and chopped coriander, and sauté until soft, about 2–3 minutes.
- 5Stir in the chilli, paprika, and a pinch of salt, then pour in the tahini‑lemon mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly (it will thicken further in the oven, so keep it a bit thin).
- 6Pour the sauce evenly over the seasoned fish fillets.
- 7Bake in the preheated oven for 20–40 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- 8While the fish bakes, fry the almonds and pine nuts in ghee until golden and fragrant.
- 9Remove the fish from the oven, serve with steamed rice, and garnish with the fried nuts.
