Instructions
Before starting, preheat your broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce. Bring 1 1/4 cups water and 1/8 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a boil in a covered medium pot. Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
While rice cooks, peel, then mince or grate garlic. Smash ginger with a rolling pin or a heavy pot. Thinly slice green onions, keeping green and white parts separate. Trim snow peas. Pat barramundi dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the tops and sides only, then gently press to adhere. (NOTE: Avoid getting seeds on the skin-side.)
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then barramundi, skin-side down. Cook until skin is golden-brown and crispy, 5-7 min. Transfer barramundi to a foil-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Broil in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 6-8 min. Carefully wipe the pan clean.
While barramundi broils, heat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then snow peas. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add half the garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Transfer snow peas to a plate and cover to keep warm. Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then swirl to melt. Add remaining garlic, ginger and white parts of green onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften, 1 min. Add soy sauce mirin blend. Bring to a boil and cook, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Remove the pan from heat. Carefully remove and discard ginger.
Fluff rice with a fork, then divide between plates. Serve barramundi and snow peas alongside. Spoon butter soy sauce over everything. Sprinkle remaining green onions over top.
