One day on Turtle Island in Fiji, a guest returned from our daily deep-sea fishing trip with one of the biggest coral trout I’ve ever seen. It was lunchtime and he wanted to eat his fish immediately, with a hint of local inspiration. I asked one of my Fijian chefs to make me some fresh coconut milk and we put together this dish in a few minutes, using the produce from our garden. The guest liked it so much, he ordered this dish regularly for the rest of his stay.
Ingredients
4 fillets white firm-fleshed fish such as snapper, harpuka, barramundi or coral trout.250ml coconut milk
1 tsp grated ginger

Zest and juice of 1 lime
1 tsp grated palm oil or 1/4 tsp fresh grated tumeric
2 lemongrass stalks, crushed

Hot Tips
Pasta shapes
Thin, delicate pasta shapes are lovely combined with thinner, delicate sauces. Tubular or irregular shaped pastas are best with chunky sauces (so the sauce can get caught inside the shapes). Small pasta shapes, such as risoni, are great in soups.
Glossary
Anise
A small, annual plant that is a member of the parsley family. The leaves and seed have a distinctive, sweet liquorice flavour. The anise seed flavours a variety of confections, savoury dishes and drinks.
