Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Barramundi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, fresh
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil, solid form
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-204°C).
Brush both sides of the barramundi fillets with olive oil and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Once the grill is hot, place the barramundi fillets flesh-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets using a spatula.
Continue to grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
While the fish is grilling, prepare the lemon herb 'butter': In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, nutritional yeast, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and solid coconut oil.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a uniform, butter-like consistency. This serves as your dairy-free lemon herb 'butter'.
Remove the barramundi from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Spoon the lemon herb 'butter' generously over the hot fillets, allowing it to melt and enhance the flavors of the grilled fish.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
