Prep Time
• Prep time: 15 minutes
• Cook time: 15 minutes
• Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients
For the barramundi:
• 5 cloves garlic, peeled
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
• 14 oz cherry tomatoes on the vine
• 3 ears of corn, sliced into 1-inch discs
• 2 (6-oz) Australis Barramundi fillets, frozen
• Toasted baguette or French bread slices, for serving (optional)
For the lime butter:
• Zest of 1 lime
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Method
- Make the lime butter. Combine all ingredients for the lime butter in a small bowl and stir to combine. It helps to use the back of a spoon or spatula to knead the butter. Spoon butter onto a sheet of waxed paper and use the paper to roll it into a log shape. Refrigerate until you’re ready to use it.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lay frozen barramundi fillets, corn, tomatoes, and garlic in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes or until barramundi has turned bright white and is no longer opaque.
- Top barramundi with chopped cilantro and a slice of lime butter. Serve immediately with toast (optional) for the garlic and tomatoes.
- Make the lime butter in advance and store in the fridge for up to a week. Add a splash of lime juice to the barramundi and vegetables before baking if you like. Use basil or parsley in place of cilantro if you like.
