BBQ Barramundi

The go-to fish of Australia.
Ingredients
- 1 fillet of barramundi, approx. 800g
- Sea salt
- 100ml extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch of kale
- 1 lemon
- Anchovy Dressing½ bunch flat leaf parsley, leaves picked, washed and dried¼ cup of fresh capers, washed1 tin (47g) anchovy fillets20ml red wine vinegar1 medium sized clove of garlic1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard200ml extra virgin oliveZest of 1 lemon
Instructions
Remove your fish from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature
- Blend the parsley in a blender along with the garlic and 1 large ice cube.
- Add the capers, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, lemon zest and anchovy fillets and process on medium high until combined. Be careful not to overwork it or it will discolour.
- With the blender running on medium speed, gradually add the 200ml olive oil in a slow and steady stream. Scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure the mixture is evenly combining. Turn the machine to high and process for 10 seconds. Season to taste and reserve
- Light your fire or BBQ. If cooking with fire, spread the embers evenly across the base of the grate and set your grill rack approximately 12-15 cm above the embers.
- Season the flesh side of the fish with some sea salt and grill (skin side down) above evenly distributed embers for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the barramundi during the last 2 minutes of cooking to set the protein.
- Transfer the fish to a clean tray, season with remaining sea salt, a squeeze of lemon juice from the lemon and just a drizzle from the 100ml portion of olive oil and leave in a warm place to rest for 2-3 minutes
- Spray the kale lightly with remainder of the 100ml olive oil and grill for 2 minutes until crisp and lightly charred, season with sea salt, and remove to a clean bowl, dressing with resting juices from the fish
- Serve the fish with the grilled kale and anchovy dressing, decorate with lemon.
