1. Rinse the barramundi fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Make a few diagonal cuts on the fish, about 1 inch apart.

4. In a small bowl, mix together the light soy sauce and sesame oil. Drizzle this mixture over the fish, making sure to pour some into the cuts.
5. In a wok or pan, heat some vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced chilli peppers. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Add the Chinese greens to the wok or pan and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until they start to wilt. Season with salt to taste.
7. Arrange the stir-fried greens around the fish in the dish.
8. Fill a wok or large pot with water, about 2 inches deep. Place a steamer rack inside, making sure the water does not touch the rack. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
9. Once the water is boiling, carefully place the dish with the fish and greens onto the steamer rack. Cover the wok or pot with a lid.
