Barramundi in wild pepper and cordyline leaves

If you can't get green cordyline leaves or turmeric leaves, use a section of banana leaf which you've softened over a gas flame.

    Ingredients

    750g barramundi fillet, cut into 4 pieces
    8 cordyline or turmeric leaves
    8 wild pepper leaves
    2 limes, â…” of rind peeled and cut into 12 slices
    4 kaffir lime leaves
    Flaky salt

    Instructions

    For each parcel, overlap two cordyline or turmeric leaves so that they create a cross shape, and overlap two wild pepper leaves in the centre.

    Place two lime slices on the wild pepper leaves, then place the fish fillet on top. Sprinkle the fillet with salt then top with 1 kaffir lime leaf then 1 slice of lime.

    Wrap 1 of the cordyline or turmeric leaves around the fillet, then the other so that it is entirely enclosed (you can secure the folds with a sharp toothpick if you want). Repeat until you have 4 parcels.

    Cook the parcels on a flat barbecue grill plate or pan for 6-10 minutes. Turn the parcels after 4 minutes and check for doneness after 6 minutes – the flesh is cooked when completely white and able to be flaked easily.
