1. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Gently saute the
minced garlic in butter for about 2 minutes, until fragrant and
golden.
2. Stir in the lemon juice and 3/4th of the fresh or dry basil.
3. Add salt to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Pat the barramundi fillets dry and coat both sides with olive or
canola oil.
5. Heat a medium frying pan (nonstick if you have it) on medium-
high heat. Pan fry one side for about 3 minutes. The edges should
turn golden brown. Flip and cook the other side 1-2 more minutes
or until fish is cooked through.
6. Transfer the barramundi to a serving dish. Spoon sauce over the
fillets and sprinkle the remaining basil on top. Enjoy immediately!
