Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Barramundi fillets
- 1 whole Lemon
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium Zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 bunch Asparagus spears
Instructions
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
While the grill is heating, prepare the lemon herb butter. Zest the lemon into a small bowl, then cut it in half to squeeze out 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Combine softened unsalted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dill, and minced garlic in the bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Pat the barramundi fillets dry with paper towels and lightly coat them with olive oil and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, lightly coat the sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and asparagus spears with olive oil.
Once the grill is hot, place the vegetables on the grill first, cooking them for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through until they are tender and have grill marks.
Add the barramundi fillets to the grill, skin side down if applicable. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
After removing the fish from the grill, immediately spoon the lemon herb butter on top of each fillet, allowing it to melt and enhance the flavor.
Serve the grilled barramundi alongside the grilled vegetables for a complete, healthy meal.
