Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
  • 1 bird's eye chilli, finely chopped
  • ½ cup plain flour
  • ½ tsp salt, plus extra to taste
  • 2 barramundi fillets
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • cooked rice, to serve
Salsa
  • 2 mangoes, medium dice
  • ½ red capsicum, finely chopped
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup coriander, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Combine the kecap manis with the chilli in a small bowl, mix well and set aside. Combine the plain flour and salt on a plate, then dredge the barramundi fillets on both sides until well coated.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, then add the barramundi fillets. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then turn and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, or until golden.
  3. Transfer the cooked barramundi fillets to a chopping board and cut the fillets into large bite-sized pieces. Place onto a paper towel and sprinkle with salt.
  4. To make the salsa, in a medium bowl combine the mangoes, capsicum, onion, coriander and lemon juice and mix gently to combine. Heat the flour tortillas in the microwave, or warm in a frying pan.
  5. To serve, spread the kecap mixture across the tortillas, top with rice, barramundi and the mango salsa.
