Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Barramundi fillets, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the barramundi fillets under cold water, and pat them dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of the fillets generously with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper.
Cut the lemon in half. Save one half for the butter and cut the other half into wedges for serving.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with chopped parsley, thyme leaves, minced garlic, and juice of half a lemon. Stir until well combined, then set the lemon herb butter aside.
Place the barramundi fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until the flesh becomes opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Flip the fillets carefully using a wide spatula, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to finish.
Remove the barramundi from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two.
Serve the grilled barramundi with a dollop of lemon herb butter on top, allowing it to melt over the warm fish.
Add lemon wedges on the side for extra zest, and enjoy!
