Preparation time: 25 mins – Cooking: 25 mins – Serves 8
8 Fresh fillets (170 g each)
Avocado and mango salad
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 avocados, cut in quarters, stone removed
- 2 baby cos lettuce, ends trimmed, cut into 6 cm pieces
- 1 mango, peeled, cut into thin wedges
Pineapple glaze
- 1/2 topless pineapple cut into large pieces
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 lime, juiced
Vinaigrette
- 3 limes, juiced
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 cup EVOO plus extra for avocado and barramundi
- To make the salad, place red onions in a bowl with red wine vinegar and salt. Let sit and marinate while preparing the glaze.
- To make the glaze, place pineapple in a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour pineapple puree into a large saucepan over medium heat and add brown sugar and soy sauce. Cook until sugar has dissolved, stirring constantly. Add lime juice and stir until just combined. Remove from heat.
- For the vinaigrette, combine lime juice, sugar and soy sauce in a medium mixing bowl. While whisking, slowly pour in olive oil. Reserve while grilling avocados.
- To grill the avocados, preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Sprinkle flesh of each avocado piece with salt, drizzle with a little olive oil and place on the grill, cut side down. Cook for about 1-2 mins or until charred, then turn clockwise a quarter turn. Cook for a further 1-2 mins, or until charred, then remove and allow to cool, cut side up.
- Preheat oven to 200 C or 180 C fan. Place barramundi fillets on a baking tray lined with aluminium foil and brush with oil. Using a spoon, drizzle glaze over fillets to coat.
- Place in oven and cook for about 10 mins, or until fish is just cooked and glaze has set.
- To assemble, remove skin from avocado and arrange with baby cos and mango on a platter. Top with barramundi, dizzle with vinaigrette and garnish with red onions. Serve immediately.
