Ingredients
- 4 pieces Barramundi fillets, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Rinse the barramundi fillets under cold water, and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Brush both sides of the fillets generously with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Cut the lemon in half. Save one half for the butter and cut the other half into wedges for serving.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with chopped parsley, thyme leaves, minced garlic, and juice of half a lemon. Stir until well combined, then set the lemon herb butter aside.
Step 6
Place the barramundi fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until the flesh becomes opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 7
Flip the fillets carefully using a wide spatula, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to finish.
Step 8
Remove the barramundi from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two.
Step 9
Serve the grilled barramundi with a dollop of lemon herb butter on top, allowing it to melt over the warm fish.
Step 10
Add lemon wedges on the side for extra zest, and enjoy!
