How to Make Baked Barramundi

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Peel and thinly slice 1 large carrot. Spread evenly across the bottom of a (approximately 9x13 inch) casserole dish.
  3. Place 1.5 lbs (680g) of barramundi fillets, cut into 2-inch pieces, in a single layer over the carrots.
  4. Pour 1/2 cup (120ml) dry white wine over the fish.
  5. Top with 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 8 ounces (225g) sliced mushrooms, and 2 chopped spring onions.
  6. Drizzle 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream evenly over the tomatoes and other toppings.
  7. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 120°C (250°F), and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (Avoid boiling; the sauce may curdle.)
  9. Serve immediately over jasmine rice with 2 servings of your favorite green vegetables (e.g., steamed broccoli, asparagus).
  10. Optional: Add 1/2 cup (75g) shelled green prawns or scallops during the last 10 minutes of baking.
