Barramundi is a fabulous Australian fish that we were introduced to on our last cruise. It is an excellent source of protein, as well as Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Barramundi fillets are easily pan-fried. This fish is not easy to find. We bought it at our local Metro store. This recipe includes a nice spicy marinade. It will serve two people. I served it with sauted red and yellow sweet peppers and mushrooms and some steamed broccoli.
Ingredients:
2 barramundi fillets
1/8 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon thai green curry paste
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried hot red chili peppers
1 small onion, finely sliced
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Whisk together all ingredients, except fish. In a large flat bowl, pour marinade over the barramundi, skin side down. Marinade in fridge, covered, for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium high heat. Add marinated barramundi, skin side up, and whatever is left of the marinade and the onions. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the fish and cook another 3 to 4 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
