Basil Garlic Barramundi With Tomato Butter Sauce Recipe

How To Prepare Basil Garlic Barramundi With Tomato Butter Sauce?

Ingredients:

• 4 barramundi fillets

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• fresh torn basil and fresh minced parsley

• generous pinch of salt, freshly cracked pepper

• 4–6 tomatoes, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)

• 1 12-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained

• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth

• 4 tablespoons butter

• Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions:

1. Combine olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, tomatoes & their juices & white beans in a small bowl. Set aside to marinate while cooking the fish.
2. Heat a quick dash of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
3. Pat the fish dry, season with salt & pepper.
4. Pan-fry on each side for about 4 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the pan & set aside.
5. Add the tomato white bean mixture to the skillet & add the butter. Bring to a low simmer – the sauce should start to thicken. Add the chicken broth as needed to thin it out. Season with salt & pepper.
6. When the sauce is velvety & loose enough to evenly coat the back of a spoon, add the fish back in. Spoon the sauce over top of the fish & serve. Goes perfectly with a green salad & crusty bread.
