Barramundi Recipe Seared Fish With Mustard Sauce

BAKED BARRAMUNDI WITH MUSTARD & LEMON RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Monday, September 21, 2015 BAKED BARRAMUNDI with MUSTARD & LEMON In my effort to cook more fish, I created this baked barramundi dish. Super simple to make, it requires next to no time in the kitchen as the 1 hour prep and cooking time is made up of 25 minutes of marinating, 25 minutes of baking in the oven. Therefore it is a great recipe for those who are time poor or who do not like the kitchen. In addition it is a very healthy, super light dish, perfect for dinner. INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons dijon mustard the juice of 1 medium lemon 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil 2 spring onions, finely chopped a generous sprinkling of ground black pepper 500g barramundi fillets, skin & bones removed a baking dish, around 25cm x 15cm or bigger Side Salad 1 large tomato, roughly chopped 1 medium carrot, grated 2 generous handfuls of lettuce 100g green beans, trimmed and roughly chopped 1 ripe avocado, diced COOKING 1. Combine the mustard, lemon, oil, spring onion, pepper and a tablespoon of water and stir well to combine. Brush or pour onto the barramundi fillets then marinate in the fridge for 25 minutes. 2. Preheat a fan forced oven to 180 degrees celsius. 3. Whilst the barramundi is marinating, make the salad by combining all ingredients and tossing well. 4. When 25 minutes is up, place the marinated barramundi in a single layer in the baking dish. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven after this time and check that the fish is cooked by lightly shredding the biggest piece with a fork; if the flesh is white in the middle of the piece, the fish is cooked. Divide the salad and barramundi into 4 servings and serve the fish on top of the salad. Season with extra pepper if desired.

BARRAMUNDI RECIPE: SEARED FISH WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat butter in a heavy bottom pan over medium-high heat until it begins to brown. Meanwhile, pat barramundi dry. Dry it again. (Wet fish won't sear well). Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper.
• Set fillets on hot pan, and don't touch them. Allow fillets to cook 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. As the fish cooks, the translucent flesh will become opaque from the bottom up. The fish is ready to flip when it has cooked about 2/3 of the way through. (If the fish sticks to the pan, give it about 30 seconds more-- it will release when it's ready.)
• Next, use a thin metal spatula to flip the fish over. Cook them approximately one minute, and then remove them from the pan.
• Mix all the yogurt, mustard, and capers together. Taste, and add a little caper brine if desired.
• Serve fish immediately with sauce and optional garnish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Brush fish with olive oil.
• Mix bread crumbs, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon zest, and thyme together in a bowl. Press fish in bread crumb mixture to coat all sides. Arrange coated fish on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip fish and continue baking until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes more.
• Stir butter, lemon juice, white wine, and basil together in a bowl; drizzle over cooked fish.
