Ingredients

Barbecued Barramundi**********

4 Fillets of barramundi, preferably still with skin on

Baste*****************************

2 tablespoons melted butter

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil

1/2 clove garlic crushed

Salt & freshly grated pepper

Directions

Melt butter and combine with other baste ingredients. Baste the barramundi fillets with some of the mixture about 5 minutes before barbecuing (not too long before as the lime juice will start “cooking” the fish).

Pre-heat BBQ grill, turn down to medium heat and oil/butter the grill well. Place barramundi fillets on the BBQ grill skinless side down first.

Grill for about 3 minutes and baste while cooking. Turn carefully to skin side down with a spatula and continue cooking and basting for about a further 3 minutes. Timing will depend on thickness of fillets.

Great with any salads, but especially Mango Salad and sautéed chat potatoes.

NOTE: The barramundi does tend to fall to pieces a bit (especially if you can only get the skinned fillets), but who cares when it tastes this good! It is particularly good with steaks from the larger wild barramundi which have a stronger flavour (East Coast season is from the beginning of February to the end of October - the Gulf season is more variable).

Ohhhhhh..This is such a wonderful fish. Firm and light. I've never seen it here in the states and that makes me sad. Got to do that 17 hr flight again sometime. Good on ya!

You can find it both fresh and frozen in some Safeways in the USA. It is a delicious fish and what is on the menu for tonight, in fact I am going to try this recipe.
