Ingredients

• 4 pieces Barramundi fillets
• 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 large Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 medium-sized Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoons Chili flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the ground coriander, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the barramundi fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then evenly coat them with the coriander and lemon mixture. Set aside.

Step 4

To prepare the cucumber mint salsa, peel and dice the cucumber into small cubes. Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and red onion.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the diced cucumber, chopped mint, and onion. Add the lime juice, honey, chili flakes, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and refrigerate until needed.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the barramundi fillets skin-side down for 2-3 minutes, or until the skin is crispy.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the barramundi from the oven and let it rest for a minute before serving.

Step 9

Plate the barramundi fillets and spoon the cucumber mint salsa generously over the top. Serve immediately.
