A delightful and quick recipe for a flavorful Garlic Lemon Butter Barramundi, perfect for a light and satisfying meal.
Pat the barramundi fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Drying the fillets ensures a better sear when cooking.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the fillets to prevent sticking.
Place the fillets in the skillet, skin side up, and cook for 3 minutes.
Avoid moving the fillets too much to allow a nice crust to form.
Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a serving dish.
Cover the fillets with foil to keep them warm while preparing the sauce.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use the same skillet to retain the flavors from the fish.
Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1 minute.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the salt, lemon juice, and chopped basil leaves.
Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Spoon the sauce over the cooked fillets and serve immediately.
Garnish with additional basil leaves for presentation.
