Barra Meets Basil

Barra meets Basil 

Serves 2

This recipe adapts a mixture recommended by Jamie Oliver for tuna. We think it's even deader sexier with barramundi.

Ingredients

• 400g barramundi fillet
• 1 small dried red chilli
• 1 tbsp coriander seeds
• 1 small clove garlic
• 2 tbsps finely chopped fresh basil
• 2 tbsps finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
• Salt and pepper
• Juice of one lemon
• Smear of oil for frying pan

Method

1. Grind chilli and coriander seeds in pestle & mortar.
2. Combine with all other ingredients.
3. Rub into fish.
4. Cook for 90 seconds each side in a really hot frying pan. Yes, it will be raw in the middle - and will taste great!
5. Alternatively... buy a small jar of pesto from the supermarket. Coat it generously on both sides of the fish. Grill under a high heat for three minutes first side then two minutes, second.
