Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 lemon, zested and sliced
• 2 (8 ounce) barramundi (Asian sea bass) fillets
• 1 teaspoon truffle oil, or to taste
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 0.5 cup canola oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Rinse barramundi and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub with lemon zest.

Step 2

Sift flour onto waxed paper. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the flour. Cover both sides of the barramundi with the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour.

Step 3

Heat olive oil and canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place barramundi in the skillet, skin side-down. Cook until lightly golden in color, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate using a broad spatula. Drizzle with truffle oil. Garnish with 1/4 of the lemon slices.
