Method

Start by preparing the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Set it aside to let the flavors meld.
Pat dry the barramundi fillets with a paper towel, and season them with salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Gradually add cold water while whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to about 350°F (175°C).
Dip each barramundi fillet into the batter, ensuring it’s coated evenly.
Gently place the battered fillets into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Make sure to fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Once the fillets are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the deep-fried barramundi fillets with the prepared soy sauce dressing drizzled on top.
Garnish with chopped celery, green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal if desired

Notes

It’s always a good idea to check the fish’s doneness by ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and appears golden and crispy.
