Barramundi with Macadamia and Lemon Myrtle Crust image

I had a very similar dish to this in Northern Queesland. It was made with wild barramundi (much nicer than farmed) and came over an artichoke and semi-sundried tomato cous cous with lime wedges on the side.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup macadamia nuts
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon parsley, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon chives, chopped
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (170 g) barramundi fillets, skin removed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°C
  • Combine all ingredients for the crust in a food processor and pulse until a rough crust forms, the macadamia nuts should still be quite chunky.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and reserve.
  • Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium high heat and add the olive oil to the pan.
  • Season the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper and place in the pan flesh side down (side opposite where skin was) and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until light golden brown.
  • Using a thin flat spatula gently flip fish over and divide the crust evenly among the top of each fish in an even layer.
  • Transfer entire pan to the oven and bake for 4 to 5 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through and the crust is light golden brown.
  • Remove fish from oven and serve immediately with either a light salad or sautéed vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest barramundi fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a slightly iridescent sheen. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have any off-odors.
  • To make the macadamia and lemon myrtle crust, use a food processor to finely chop the macadamia nuts. You can also use a rolling pin to crush the nuts.
  • Be sure to season the barramundi fillets with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the barramundi fillets over medium-high heat. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist.
  • Serve the barramundi fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:
