Ingredients
  • 2 tbs massaman curry paste (see note)
  • 2 tbs peanut oil
  • 4 x 200g pieces snapper fillet, pin-boned, skin on
  • 300g green beans, trimmed
  • 80g butter, chopped
  • 250g shiitake mushrooms, quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red capsicum, seeded, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tbs caster sugar
  • Greek-style yoghurt (optional), to serve
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 220C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Whisk curry paste and oil in a small bowl.
  2. Place fish, skin-side down, on tray and brush with paste mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes or until just cooked. Rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, blanch the beans in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 1½ minutes or until slightly softened. Drain, refresh in iced water, then drain again.
  4. Heat butter in a large, heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic, then stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add beans, capsicum, lime juice and sugar, then stir-fry for a further 2 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
  5. Divide stir-fry among plates and top with fish. Serve with yoghurt, if using.
Notes
We used Ayam Thai Massaman Curry Paste.

From supermarkets. Substitute salmon, blue-eye trevalla or kingfish for snapper.

To add a citrus flavour, bake the fish on slices of lemon or lime.
