Baked Barramundi with Spicy Dressing Recipe-
Ingredients:
(serves 4)
- 4 cuts of Australian Barramundi fillet, about 12 oz. (350g) per piece
For the Spicy Seasoning-
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- ½ tsp. smoked paprika
- 6 large cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1 bunch of fresh cilantro, rough chopped
- 10 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. Australian bush pepper and salt, or to taste (must have, essential ingredient, for authentic Australian flavor)
Directions:
- Put all the spicy seasoning ingredients into an electric blender or food processor, and blend into a dressing.
- Score the fillet cuts with a knife a few times on each side, coat both sides with half of the seasoning dressing, then set aside to marinate for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Heat your oven to 425F (220). Put your seasoned fillet cuts on a lightly oiled roasting pan, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the flesh is firm, the dressing has taken on a blackened appearance, and a toothpick plunged into the center of the flesh comes out clean.
- Serve your Baked Barramundi with Spicy Dressing with the remaining dressing. Side dishes that go well are couscous or rice, and just about any steamed or grilled vegetable.
