Baked Barramundi Fillets


I am probably one of the last people on earth that would freely choose to eat fish over other meats... I'm just not a big fan at all... but I've had to give fish a try ever since discovering that the omega 3 is pretty important for my bud whose been growing inside my tummy. Plus, it's Lent season and we've been trying to do Fish Fridays.

So I tried this simple fish recipe, and have to admit that it worked for me and I'll probably do it again in the future, even after my buddy leaves my tummy!

Ingredients
1 clove garlic, minced
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 (6 ounce) fillets barramundi (or other white fish like halibut are also great)

Method
1. In a stainless steel or glass bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, basil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and parsley.
2.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow glass dish or a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover or seal and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
3.
Preheat the oven to 230 degrees celcius.
4. Place fish fillets in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes, or until fish is done when easily flaked with a fork.

Makes 2 servings
