Ideas for cooking Barramundi
If you’re used to cooking fillets, preparing whole fish may seem overwhelming. However, you can buy gutted and deboned whole fish in your home delivery of seafood so cooking it could be easier than you think! And it can be served with just a salad to keep the dish really simple.
One of the easiest methods is to bake whole fish in foil. This allows the flesh to cook slowly, retaining its delicate texture. You can also pan-roast fish, or why not add it to the barbie for a delicious smoky flavour?
Follow our barramundi recipes. This fish is a healthy choice as it contains the highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids found in any white fish. It’s also packed with protein and low on calories.
Baking draws out all the flavours of the fish and spices, making it a delicious and easy dish.
