Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces barramundi fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium lemon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 large garlic clove
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat dry the barramundi fillets with paper towels and drizzle them with olive oil. Rub the oil evenly across the fillets on both sides.
Season the fillets with salt and black pepper, ensuring both sides are well seasoned. Set aside while preparing the lemon herb butter.
Zest and juice the lemon. Set aside 1 teaspoon of zest and 1 tablespoon of juice.
In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and minced garlic. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Brush the grill grates with a little additional olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the barramundi fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the fillet starts to become opaque at the edges.
Carefully flip the fillets and grill for another 3-4 minutes or until the fish is fully opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the barramundi from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
While the fish is still hot, spread a small amount of the lemon herb butter over each fillet. The heat from the fish will melt the butter, coating the fillets with flavor.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
