The price of seafood has increased so much in the last few years! No wonder I am always on the lookout for a bargain, especially in the frozen section.
That’s where this caught my eye, a 12 oz. package of Barramundi Fillets for less than $10, perfect for seafood night!

Also known as Asian Sea Bass, this white fish has a firm but delicate texture and a mild, sweet taste. The wine-lemon-butter sauce really brings out the flavor of this fish without overpowering it. It can be pan cooked or oven baked in under 30 minutes!
Dinner for two
Ingredients:
- 12 oz. package frozen Barramundi fillets, thawed
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. white wine
- 1 lemon, divided use
- Old Bay Seasoning®
- fresh chives for garnish
Preparation:
Melt 1 tbsp. butter in a nonstick grill pan or skillet. Add the fillets, season with Old Bay and cook 5 minutes.
Turn the fish over. Add the remaining 1 tbsp. butter, wine and juice of 1/2 lemon to the pan. Cook 5 minutes longer.
Oven Preparation:
Alternately, you can add the fillets, seasoning, wine, lemon and butter to a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes at 400º.
To plate, sprinkle with a little more Old Bay and garnish with fresh chives. Here I served with short grain brown rice and sugar snap peas.
Notes ♪♫ You do not need an array of seasonings or sauces for most seafood dishes. Keep it simple and let the flavor of the fish take the spotlight. If you are making a seafood dish and don’t know what seasoning to use, just sprinkle with Old Bay, it is a natural for seafood and has been around (and gluten free) since 1939.
