Baby Barramundi En Papillote

barramundi

With sage and garlic herb butter, lemon and dutch cream potato

We all love a home-cooked meal, but many of us tend to get lazy because of the washing up. This recipe is a favorite of mine, simply because it requires minimal cleaning up to do, especially after a long day at the office.
I’m very fortunate to live near the fish markets, so I buy fresh fish on the weekends very often for Monday/Tuesday dinners. Being in Australia, our favorite is the barramundi (which is somewhat the same popularity as the sea bass in America). Your fish monger can scale and gut the fish for you before wrapping it up.

There is no real recipe here, it’s easy enough to work with whatever you have on hand. Normally it is a blend of herbs, butter/sauce, lemon and the fish. I have some leftover herbs, which I normally chop up coarsely and mix with soft butter.

Then I spread the butter on both sides of the fish, with a little on the inside.  I also add some sliced lemons and garlic inside the fish as well, and sat it on top of some sliced potatoes (pre-boiled)

Fold inside baking paper, making sure all sides are sealed properly (sometimes I had another layer of foil on the outside so that I can squeeze the sides airtight) and bake at 200C for 15 minutes. My baby fish is only small, it’s no crime to open the parcel and check whether the flesh is falling off the bones. 15 minutes is normally a good guide for a baby fish
