Tropical Sunset Barramundi
with Pineapple Scallion Salsa, Coconut Rice & Lime Roasted Carrots
We’ll take our tropical vacation in dinner form tonight, please. Mild, buttery barramundi fillets are seared until the skin is crispy and the fish is flaky, then topped with a silky, spicy pan sauce of Thai chili sauce, coconut milk, and lime juice and a pineapple scallion salsa for bright, sweet contrast. It’s all served with zesty roasted carrots and creamy coconut rice. Now close your eyes and picture yourself enjoying this feast beachside...

Instructions
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Drain pineapple; roughly chop. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Zest and quarter lime. • Place rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse until water runs clear.
• Thoroughly shake coconut milk in container before opening. • In a small pot, combine ¼ cup coconut milk (you’ll use the rest later), ½ cup water, 1 TBSP butter, ½ tsp sugar, and a big pinch of salt. (For 4 servings, use ½ cup coconut milk, 1 cup water, 2 TBSP butter, and 1 tsp sugar.) • Bring mixture to a boil, then stir in rice; cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, toss carrots on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes. • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine pineapple, scallions, and a big squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pat barramundi* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add barramundi, skin sides down, and cook until skin is crispy, 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook until fish is opaque and cooked through, 2-3 minutes more. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wash out pan.
• Return same pan to medium-high heat. Add chili sauce and remaining coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by about half, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat; stir in a squeeze of lime juice to taste.
• Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper. • Toss carrots with lime zest. • Divide rice, carrots, and barramundi between plates. Top fish with coconut sauce and pineapple salsa. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
Barramundi is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145º.
