This light and zesty barramundi recipe is perfect for a simple, elegant dinner. Paired with a cool dill yoghurt sauce, it makes a lovely change from the usual midweek meals.

Ingredients:

  • 4 barramundi fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of ½ a lemon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the dill yoghurt sauce:

  • ½ cup Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
  • Salt, to taste

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (fan-forced).
  2. Line a baking tray with paper and place the barramundi fillets on top.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While the fish is baking, mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Serve the fish topped with the dill yoghurt sauce, alongside steamed green beans, baby potatoes or a crisp salad.

This dish is light, healthy and packed with flavour. The creamy sauce balances the lemony fish beautifully — and it’s ready in under 30 minutes.
