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.
