Ingredients

  • 24 ounces frozen Barramundi (2 packages) or other white fish
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice + extra to squeeze over the fish before cooking
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 - 4 tablespoons capers, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Defrost the individually wrapped fish fillets in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. Once thawed, remove the fish from the plastic wrap.
  • Place the thawed fish fillets on a baking pan, and drizzle a bit of lemon juice over each fillet. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until flakey.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce by mixing the remaining ingredients (2 tablespoons lemon juice through parsley) in a bowl.
  • Once the fish is cooked through, place each fillet on a serving dish and top with the sauce.

Notes

Feel free to use any fish fillets you prefer. Adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of the fillet.
