Place barramundi onto a sheet of foil and baking paper. I like to use the stems of the Coriander as a bed underneath each fillet of fish. Place the barra on top and spoon on the dressing until it is fully coated. Optional to add on any addtional pieces of herbs, chilli etc.
Fold the foil over to make a parcel. Bake at 170 for 12 mins or until your liking. Serve with steamed rice and bok choy. ENJOY!
