Barramundi with Macadmia Nuts Recipe
Flavors of Australia
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Prep. time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: Under 15 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
Barramundi is a member of the perch family, so you can substitute perch or any other white fish, such as turbot.
Serve with grilled vegetables.
It's better to use a whole fish rather than fillets; the skin protects the fish from drying out.
An original idea from the Sydney Fish Market culinary school.
