2 teaspoon sesame oil

Method

1.Line base of a steamer with baking paper. Top with fish and ginger. Cover and steam over simmering water for 10 minutes. Top with green onion and steam for another 2 minutes.

2.Meanwhile, heat soy and sesame oil in a saucepan on medium for 2 minutes, until hot.

If you can’t find barramundi, try salmon, jewfish or blue-eye fillets. Steaming works with many flavours. Experiment with Mediterranean-style additions such as basil, tomato, capers and olives.
