5.Place the water and barley in a medium saucepan; bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, for 35 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool. Combine vinegar and oil in a large bowl. Just before serving, add barley to bowl along with the remaining ingredients; toss gently to combine. Season to taste.
We used barramundi in this recipe but any thick or firm white fish fillet will be fine. You can use pearl barley for this recipe, if you like. Barley can be cooked several hours ahead. The avocado cream can also be made several hours in advance. Store separately in the fridge.
