Ingredients
- 2 6-8 oz barramundi fillets

- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh or bottled lemon juice

Simple and delicious. This will become your new favorite.
The best ingredients should speak for themselves.
- Step 1 Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Gently saute the minced garlic in butter for about 2 minutes, until fragrant and golden.
- Step 2 Stir in the lemon juice and 3/4th of the fresh or dry basil.
- Step 3 Add salt to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Step 4 Pat the barramundi fillets dry and coat both sides with olive or canola oil.
- Step 5 Heat a medium frying pan (nonstick if you have it) on medium-high heat. Pan fry one side for about 3 minutes. The edges should turn golden brown. Flip and cook the other side 1-2 more minutes or until fish is cooked through.
- Step 6 Transfer the barramundi to a serving dish. Spoon sauce over the fillets and sprinkle the remaining basil on top. Enjoy immediately!
BTW: Did you know that you can also roast Australis Barramundi straight from the freezer?
