Basque Country flavors blend with naturally buttery barramundi. Spanish cuisine is known for its use of red peppers like pimento and red bell pepper, olives and olive oil, fresh herbs, onion, and garlic—all of which are found in this flavor-packed dish: Spanish Style Baked Barramundi. Food styling and photography by Lindsey Johnson of Café Johnsonia.
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Use a little of the olive oil to lightly grease the inside of a 3 quart casserole pan.
Step 2
Arrange half of the bell peppers, onions, garlic, and olives on the bottom of the casserole dish.
Step 3
Season both sides of the barramundi filets with the paprika and a good pinch each sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place on top of the veggies and olives. Arrange half of the herb sprigs on top.
Step 4
Place the remaining peppers, onions, garlic, and olives over the top of the fish. Season with a little more salt and pepper. Add the remaining herb sprigs. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Place in oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and veggies are tender.
Step 5
Let cool slightly and serve with fresh greens, roasted potatoes, and garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley. Add an extra drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
