Our new Pan-Seared Barramundi dish has become one of our most popular dishes and for good reason!
The flavors and inspiration for this dish came straight outta Bali. The fish is rubbed with a spice paste with lots of turmeric, ginger and lemongrass before being seared until the skin gets nice and crispy.

It’s served with Sambal Matah which, unlike the bright red and deep sambals you may be used to, is bright and fresh with the same fiery bite. Shallots, lemongrass, lime leaf and Thai chilis are combined with lime juice and warm coconut oil to make this Balinese condiment a perfect match for the fish.
It’s served with a snap pea & sprout urap and coconut rice.
