Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Place 4 barramundi fillets skin-side down on a lined baking tray. Brush each fillet with 2 tbsp olive oil, then season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly.
- Step 2: Roast the barramundi in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, prepare the salsa by combining pulp from 2 finger limes, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill, 1 small finely diced shallot, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl. Stir gently to combine.
- Step 4: Remove the barramundi from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Spoon the finger lime and dill salsa over each fillet while still warm.
- Step 5: Serve immediately with steamed greens or a light salad to highlight the fresh flavors.
