Are you a fish lover? Here's my go-to fish dish whenever I crave something easy to cook.

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for cooking barramundi, a versatile and mild-flavored fish called Pan-seared barramundi with Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce!

Ingredients​

• 2 barramundi fillets
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions​

1. Season the Fillets:
   • Pat the barramundi fillets dry with paper towels.
   • Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Pan-Sear the Fish:
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Once hot, add the barramundi fillets skin-side down.
   • Cook for 4-5 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula to keep the skin in contact with the pan.
   • Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
   • Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Make the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium.
   • Add the butter and let it melt.
   • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
   • Add the lemon juice and stir, letting the sauce simmer for another minute.
   • Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
4. Serve:
   • Pour the lemon garlic butter sauce over the barramundi fillets.
   • Serve with lemon wedges on the side and your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your flavorful and easy-to-make pan-seared barramundi!
