Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a medium saucepan, 2 large bowls, a small bowl & a sieve

Marinate the barramundi

  • Roughly chop the dill. Thinly slice the shallot
  • In a large bowl, combine the turmeric, ginger & garlic paste, dill, shallot, half the honey and a pinch of salt
  • Coat the barramundi in the turmeric mix and leave to marinate

Make the dressing

  • In the small bowl, combine the Asian paste with the remaining honey and 1 tsp olive oil

Roast & boil

  • Lay the barramundi, skin-side up, onto the lined baking tray. Spoon over any remaining turmeric marinade from the bowl. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, then roast for 19 mins, until cooked
  • Meanwhile, bring the medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Once boiling, add the noodles, gently separate with a fork and boil for 6-7 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water

Build the salad

  • Thinly slice the radishes. Pick the mint leaves from the stalks and roughly chop
  • To the other large bowl, add the salad leaves, peas, radish and mint. Mix with half the dressing

Plate up

  • Roughly chop the peanuts
  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Share the turmeric barramundi between bowls, with the noodles and radish salad alongside. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the noodles. Garnish with the peanuts
