Yes, I’m in love with this delicious fish and since I discovered it, I try to cook barramundi in every way. My very last creation is a healthy and savory dish with a tangy and sweet twist. I caramelized two fish filets with an organic, super juicy pink grapefruit, clover honey and a shot of cognac. Give it a try to this dish full of flavors and colors.

Pair this dish with Pinot Grigio or Napa Valley Chardonnay.

Buon Appetito!!!
