Preparation
Step 1:
In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until golden and fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 2:
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and 3/4 of the minced basil. Season with salt to taste, then remove from heat and set aside to keep warm.
Step 3:
Pat the Barramundi fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure they crisp up nicely. Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil or canola oil.
Step 4:
Heat a medium nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fillets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, until the edges turn golden brown and crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5:
Transfer the cooked fillets to a serving platter. Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the fish and sprinkle the remaining fresh basil on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
