Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Lightly oil a baking dish with 1 tbsp olive oil. Season 4 barramundi fillets with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then place them in the dish skin-side down.

  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, sauté 2 tbsp finely chopped shallots in 1 tbsp butter until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Add 1/4 cup dry white wine and reduce by half, then lower heat to low and whisk in remaining 5 tbsp cold unsalted butter piece by piece to create a smooth beurre blanc sauce.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp finger lime pearls, and 1 tsp roasted ground wattleseed until combined.
  6. Step 6: Plate the barramundi fillets and spoon the finger lime wattleseed beurre blanc over the top, serving immediately.
