INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1
Heat oven to 375° F. Whisk honey, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, and salt together in a small bowl to form your sauce. Set aside.

Step 2
Place Barramundi fillets on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Pour sauce over the fish, then use clean hands or a pastry brush to spread sauce evenly over both sides of the Barramundi.

Step 3
Bake Barramundi at 375° F for 15-18 minutes until fish is bright white and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 4
Serve immediately with corn salsa (instructions below), fresh cilantro, and lime wedges for garnish.

For the Salsa
While the barramundi bakes, assemble the corn salsa! Mix corn kernels, avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, shallot, salt, and lime juice together in a medium mixing bowl. Tip: To save dishes, use the same bowl you mixed the honey chipotle sauce in before!

Recipe Notes

Add diced tomatoes to the corn salsa to stretch it further and add a pop of sweetness. For extra flavor, grill the corn kernels before making the salsa.
