They’re loaded with protein, healthy fats, and are super flavorful.

If you’ve never had barramundi before, it’s a type of flatfish found in the Indian Ocean.

It’s firm yet flaky with a slightly firm texture that makes it fantastic for grilling or baking.

It tastes like mild cod but is slightly firmer than any other flatfish.

 So if you like fish that can hold its own on a plate with other ingredients, this is your ticket.

From pesto-dotted pad Thai to coconut-glazed bites and even tacos, these barramundi recipes will make a huge hit at the dinner table.

1. Lemon Garlic Barramundi

This lemon and garlic barramundi is a breeze to make.

The only thing you’ll need is a little time to marinate the fish.

5. Asian Glazed Baked Barramundi (or Other Fish)

This recipe is one of my favorites!

I prefer it over the other Asian-inspired recipes because there’s more spice to this one.

Plus, it’s cooked in a sweet and sticky glaze.

If you don’t have time to make your own glaze, try this stuff: cherry tomatoes, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic (or shallots), and red pepper flakes.

You can adjust the heat to suit your tastes if you like things hotter.

 And it will take about 20 minutes from start to finish.

That said, the marinade is what makes this dish so special.

Soak the fish overnight for best results. 

And if you have time, be sure to let them rest before serving.
