Ingredients

  1. 4 Barramundi fillets
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  3. Salt and pepper, to taste
  4. 500g mixed vegetables (e.g., potatoes, carrots, zucchini)
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  7. 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  8. Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Place vegetables on prepared tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Bake for 12 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add fish, skin-side down. Cook for 2 minutes or until skin is very crispy around edges and centre is just starting to crisp. Place fish, skin-side up, on top of vegetables on tray. Bake for 4 minutes or until fish is just cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  4. Heat remaining oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant (do not brown). Add chives and parsley. Cook for 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. Add lemon zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve barramundi and vegetables drizzled with warm garlic and herb oil.

Chef's Tip

The secret to crispy skinned barramundi is dry skin and high heat. Starting skin-side down in a hot pan allows the skin to crisp beautifully while keeping the flesh moist and delicate in the center. The garlic herb oil should be warm and fragrant rather than heavy, adding freshness and richness that complements the clean flavour of premium Australian barramundi.
