Well, it's a Sunday here and I had 2 friends come over and visit. I decided that I'd make something new. I rarely cook fish as I'm more of a beef fan but I have to eat healthier so I looked in the supermarket on Thursday for ingredients and decided to put all this together.
Ingredients
Sesame Barramundi
Barramundi fillets
Sesame seeds
Fennel
Chili oil
Salt to taste
Lemon wedges
Sauce - equal parts of prepared horseradish and mayo. You can add a dash of lemon juice or fish sauce too if you want. I used kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)which gave it a nice sweet touch.
I coated the bottom of the barramundi and fried it for 3 minutes using the chili oil. While doing this, I pre-heated the oven to 200C. Once the bottom is toasted, put the fish on a tray, drizzle it with lemon juice and put the fennel on top. Bake it for 10 minutes. Bring it out, let it cool for a minute then put the horseradish sauce. I drizzled mine with kecap manis.
Mushroom pasta sauce
Brown mushrooms
Button mushrooms
Luteus mushrooms (you can substitute this with abalone mushrooms too)
Campbell's cream of mushroom
Half a cup of milk
Half slab of cheddar - grated to make it melt easier
Almond flakes
Saute the brown mushrooms first then mix in the cream of mushroom soup and the milk. Once this is done, throw in the button & luteus mushrooms. Let it simmer then add the cheese. Once the cheese is melted, throw in the almond flakes. Let it all simmer for 5 more minutes then pour over the pasta.
And here are the photos!
