250g macrobiotic sea salt
250g sugar
150 g ooray plum puree
5g black peppercorn crushed
5 g fennel seed, toasted

NB: If you are using ooray (Davidson plum) powder you can sprinkle enough powder to cover the barramundi fillet after the curing process.

Method

STEP 1: Combine all ingredients except the barramundi fillet and mix well.

STEP 2: Place half of the mix in large vacuum bag, place barramundi on top. Cover the barramundi with the rest of the mix and vacuum seal.

Place the barramundi on the salt mixture. Cover with the remaining mixture. Fully enclose with the plastic wrap.

STEP 3: Refrigerate for 24 hours.

STEP 4: Rinse it well under cool water, and pat it dry.

STEP 5: The barramundi fillet is ready to be sliced.
