Serves 4.
Ingredients
4 x 180g barramundi fillets, skin on
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons (~20 second spray) Cocolife Non-aerosol Coconut Oil Spray
200g cherry tomatoes, quartered
3 tablespoons (~60 second spray) Cocolife Non-aerosol Avocado Oil Spray
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 large handful of basil leaves, roughly torn
Method
Remove the barra fillets from the fridge and leave to rest on the bench for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Place the seasoned barra fillets in the pan, skin-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is nice and crisp. Use a spatula to gently flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from the pan, cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest.
To make the tomato and basil salad, add the tomato, avocado oil, lemon zest juice and basil to the pan and stir into the delicious pan juices. Heat gently, stirring, for 1 minute or until warmed through, then serve alongside the delicious fish.
