It’s been way too long since I’ve talked about Barramundi around here! Barramundi happens to be one of our favorite fish. It’s relatively mild in flavor, easy to cook and pairs well with so many different dishes.
When Bob and I were traveling in CO last summer, I wrote a post with information about Barramundi. Since then, we’ve only had it a couple of times, but this week I had a strong craving for it. Isn’t it interesting how that happens?
This is definitely a “Keep it Simple, Silly” dinner . . . perfect for a weeknight.
The fillets were frozen, so I set them in cool water to thaw as I prepared the vegetables, and threw them in the oven to roast. After about 15 minutes, the Barramundi was ready to be placed in a pan, where I sprinkled the fillets with ground black pepper.
Last, I placed lemon slices on top and put the pan in the oven. After 15 minutes at 400°F, dinner was ready!
Perfectly flaky, not at all dry, with a lovely black pepper and lemon seasoning.
I personally love to squish the lemon with my fork, so I can dab the Barramundi and brussels sprouts in the juice.
Have you ever had Barramundi?

hmmm me and fish dont mix very well. For some reason, I just dont like it!! I always try it though, so to be able to say I did
I do like shrimp though!! Especially the little baby shrimp. Shrimp tacos are one of my favorites!
I have never tried that kind of fish!! Ill have to keep my eyes open for it when I go grocery shopping. Looks like something id like!
I have never tried barramundi before! It has a fun name – when I saw the “mund” suffix, I thought part of its name might mean “world.” But, according to Wikipedia, the name means “large-scaled river fish.”
Also, I love how sophisticated, yet silly, this sounds: “I personally love to squish the lemon with my fork, so I can dab the Barramundi and brussels sprouts in the juice.”
I have never even heard of that fish and we love fish! where do you get it?
Woa! I’ve never heard of Barramundi 0.0 Is it somewhat similar to Tilapia or fish of that family?
This looks yummy, Michelle!

I love Barramundi!
I’ve never even heard of Barramundi! Will have to be on the look out for it. I’m always trying to find something new to add to my diet!
That looks delish! I wish I came home early enough to make a KISS dinner. It’s going to be a long week!
I’ve never heard of Barramundi, but it looks delicious! Can you find it in a regular grocery store? We don’t eat nearly enough fish in our household, which is something we are working on for this year. I can’t wait to try this!
I’m not quite sure I’ve ever heard of Barramundi before. I’ll definitely have to check to see if our grocery store carries it.
I love barramundi. Though I’m not very discriminatory…I’ve never met a fish I haven’t liked (as an adult). I also love squishing lemon with my fork. My favorite is to cook the lemons (seared on both sides). They get kind of caramelized and sooo tasty with fish.
I couldn’t wait to tell you! I went out for a birthday dinner last night and they had a barramundi dish. So, I got to try it for the first time and it was delicious!
Yum! I’ve never had this kind, but I think I would like it. I love fish, but it definitely has to be the white, mild variety.
I can’t say that I’ve ever tried barramundi but I love white, flaky, and mild fish so I totally am interested in trying it! I love how a simple squirt of lemon can jazz up a seafood dish- major yum! And add a dab of cocktail sauce [with lots of horseradish]… Heavenly
