Barramundi With Lemon Basil Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 (4 ounce) fillets barramundi (Asian sea bass)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
• Crumb Topping:
• 1 cup dried bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 pinch dried thyme
• Lemon-Butter-Basil Sauce:
• 1 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, or to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Brush fish with olive oil.

Mix bread crumbs, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon zest, and thyme together in a bowl. Press fish in bread crumb mixture to coat all sides. Arrange coated fish on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip fish and continue baking until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes more.

Stir butter, lemon juice, white wine, and basil together in a bowl; drizzle over cooked fish.
