Barramundi paperbark

Introduction
White, soft paperbark trees are found in bush land and along the water and have been used by Aboriginals for thousands of years for various medicinal purposes. The bark is chewed for headaches. The tea tree oil is an antibacterial and antifungal. Paperbark is a good garnishing mat and infuses the fish with a smoky flavor. Serves four people

one kilo of barramundi fillets
two red onions
four roma tomatoes
two mangoes,
30 milliliters olive oil salt

C oven for 10 minutes, you will need very little oil, if any, when grilling the fish
The fish will take on a very light smoky flavor and can be served in the bark but should be peeled off before eating.
