Ingredients
2 5-7 oz barramundi fillets
2 teaspoons olive or canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh or bottled lemon juice
5 fresh basil leaves, minced or 3/4 tablespoon dry
Salt to taste
Step 1 Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Gently saute the minced garlic in butter for about 2 minutes, until fragrant and golden.
Step 2 Stir in the lemon juice and 3/4th of the fresh or dry basil.
Step 3 Add salt to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4 Pat the barramundi fillets dry and coat both sides with olive or canola oil.
Step 5 Heat a medium frying pan (nonstick if you have it) on medium-high heat. Pan fry one side for about 3 minutes. The edges should turn golden brown. Flip and cook the other side 1-2 more minutes or until fish is cooked through.
