    Barramundi---what's for dinner

    I never made Barramundi before because I never saw it in the store before It commonly is called a type of sea bass but it isn't a bass at all.

    I have had it in restaurants and enjoyed it, so when it was on sale at my grocer I jumped on it---and happy that I did. Fish is one of those things that is hard to mess up.

    I seared this in a cast iron skillet after rubbing it down with canola oil. About 5 minutes/side, then I made a garlic, lemon, and Irish Butter sauce (reduction) in the same pan. All done!

    Don't give me a hard time about acid in cast iron---a well seasoned CI pan is not offended by that at all

    I served that with brown rice and steamed broccoli for the bride and broccoli rabe for me.

    The link to Wikipedia is a welcome thing.

    Yeah, I was going to make a crack about the Sea Bass having Asian eyes, but cultural sensitivity overshadowed it.

    Since mine were headless fillets, I would not have been able to answer anything about the eyes

    IMHO Chilean Sea Bass is as good as it gets. I only wish it had a better rating with Seafood Watch.

    So, now that I've looked up "Seafood Watch" and saw it's a, "...global leader in the sustainable seafood movement." I'm in.
