Perfect Crispy Pan Fried Barramundi

Rinse the barramundi fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and fresh ground pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

Once hot, fry the barramundi fillets, skin side down, for 5 minutes until the skin is crisp. Flip and cook the other side for additional 3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the minced garlic and butter. Sauté for a minute until the garlic starts to brown.

Pour in the lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Cook for another minute allowing the flavors to blend.

Return the barramundi fillets to the pan and spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top. Simmer for a couple of minutes.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley, garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.
