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

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Combine softened unsalted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dill, and minced garlic in the bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

Pat the barramundi fillets dry with paper towels and lightly coat them with olive oil and black pepper.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, lightly coat the sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and asparagus spears with olive oil.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve the grilled barramundi alongside the grilled vegetables for a complete, healthy meal.
