This baked barramundi is served with a buttery lemon-basil sauce that’s delicious over brown rice. Barramundi has been available quite often in my local supermarket. This recipe would also be good with tilapia.
Ingredients
- 4 (4 ounce) fillets barramundi (Asian sea bass)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
Lemon-Butter-Basil Sauce
- 1 cup melted butter
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, or to taste
Crumb Topping
- 1 cup dried bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 pinch dried thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Brush fish fillets with olive oil.
Step 3
Make topping: Mix together bread crumbs, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon zest, and thyme on a large plate until well combined.
Step 4
Press fillets into bread crumb mixture to coat all sides. Arrange coated fillets on a baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip fillets and continue baking until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes more.
Step 6
Make sauce: Stir together melted butter, lemon juice, white wine, and basil in a small bowl until well combined.
Step 7
Drizzle sauce over fish to serve.
Recipe Tip
You can coat the fish fillets with cooking spray instead of brushing them with oil.
