Ingredients:
- 4 barramundi fillets with skin (6-8 oz each)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (plus more for brushing the grill)
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp chopped parsley, cilantro, mint, or whatever herb you have on hand
Procedures:
- Preheat the grill to high.
- Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and coat with 1 Tbsp of oil.
- Drizzle lemon juice over the plate where you’ll put fish once it’s off the grill.
- Pick up a wad of paper towel with tongs, dip it into oil, and brush the grill rack.
- Place the fish on the grill skin side down and cover the grill.
- Cook for 3 minutes without disturbing.
- Turn the grill down to medium.
- Flip fillets onto the flesh side, cover the grill, and cook for additional 3 minutes per inch of thickness.
- To test for doneness, insert a spatula under a thin edge of fillet and lift half of fillet perpendicular to the grill. If the flakes separate, the fish is done. Don’t worry if the fillet breaks. The skin will keep it together so it will still look nice when you serve it.
- Remove the fish off the grill keeping it skin side up to prevent it from getting soggy and place it on the prepared plate so that it can get flavored with lemon juice.
- Garnish with herbs and serve.
