Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 barramundi fillets (150 g each) and season both sides with 1 tsp sea salt and 1 tsp crushed Tasmanian pepperberry.
Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add the fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden; carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fish flakes easily.
Step 4: Add 2 tbsp unsalted butter to the pan and spoon melted butter over the fish while cooking for 1 minute to baste and infuse flavor.
Step 5: Remove fillets to serving plates, drizzle with 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, scatter 1 tbsp finger lime pearls on top, and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
