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.
