Barramundi with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce

Surprisingly simple yet packs a punch! This is a simplified version of a dish I had in Invercargill NZ on holidays which was so good I ordered again when we returned 2 years later! The creaminess of the sauce and mash paired with bold flavours of the lemon and garlic are perfect with fish and steamed vegetables. It’s a comfort food that feels a bit fancy.

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 fillets of fresh barramundi

1 tsp butter

2 tsp minced garlic

200ml cooking cream

1 tbsp lemon juice

Salt and pepper

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (fan forced). Place fish skin side down on tray lined with baking paper. Season with salt and pepper and place in oven for 25-30 minutes or until cooked. Cooking time may vary depending on thickness of fish.

2. Melt butter in small frypan on medium heat. Add garlic to fry off. Add 50ml cream and combine until warmed through, then add remaining cream and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.

3. Simmer sauce on low heat for 5 minutes, being careful not to boil. Adjust flavour to suit own taste.

4. Serve fish with mashed potato and steamed vegetables, or a roasted vegetable medley and top with sauce.
