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.
Ingredients
- 1 Barramundi fish ((600-800 grams))
- 2 cloves Garlic (chopped)
- 1 small piece Ginger (Fresh) (finely sliced)
- 5 Spring Onions (finely Sliced)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 50 grams Bean sprouts
- 1 handful Coriander (fresh) (chopped)
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Place the barramundi on foil and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Make three diagonal cuts across the barramundi and sprinkle the ginger, onions and garlic over the fish.
- Rub the mixture into the cuts along with the seasoning.
- Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil and some freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl and pour over the barramundi.
- Wrap the fish up with the foil and seal the sides.
- Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
- Remove from oven, open the foil carefully and sprinkle the bean sprouts and coriander over the top. Serve with lemon wedges.
This dish looks impressive and is oozing with all the flavours of the Orient.
