Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Barramundi cod — Make sure to choose fresh fillets with firm flesh. If Barramundi is not available, you can substitute it with other white fish like snapper or grouper.
  • Fresh herbs — Opt for fresh herbs as they provide a vibrant flavor. If you don't have access to fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the quantity by half.

Tips & Tricks

  • To prevent the fish from sticking to the grill, make sure it is well-oiled before placing the fillets.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the grilled Barramundi just before serving.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.

Serving advice

Serve the Grilled Barramundi with Lemon Herb Sauce alongside a bed of steamed jasmine rice or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. Garnish with additional fresh herbs for an added touch of freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the grilled Barramundi fillets on a platter, drizzle the Lemon Herb Sauce over them, and sprinkle some freshly chopped herbs on top. Serve with a wedge of lemon on the side for an appealing presentation.
