Ingredients

• 4 pieces Barramundi fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, fresh
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh dill
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil, solid form

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-204°C).

Step 2

Brush both sides of the barramundi fillets with olive oil and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

Once the grill is hot, place the barramundi fillets flesh-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets using a spatula.

Step 4

Continue to grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.

Step 5

While the fish is grilling, prepare the lemon herb 'butter': In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, nutritional yeast, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and solid coconut oil.

Step 6

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a uniform, butter-like consistency. This serves as your dairy-free lemon herb 'butter'.

Step 7

Remove the barramundi from the grill and place on a serving platter.

Step 8

Spoon the lemon herb 'butter' generously over the hot fillets, allowing it to melt and enhance the flavors of the grilled fish.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
