📝 Ingredients

• 8 ounces barramundi (2 fillets)
• 1 tablespoon flour (Use gluten-free all purpose flour if needed, or omit)
• 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil
• 1 tablespoon butter, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup whole milk plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (prepared)
• 1 tablespoon capers
• fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley or green onions

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Meanwhile, pat barramundi dry and dust with flour. (Wet fish won't sear well). Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper.
2. 2Set fillets on hot pan, and don't touch them. Allow fillets to cook 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. As the fish cooks, the translucent flesh will become opaque from the bottom up. The fish is ready to flip when it has cooked about 2/3 of the way through. (If the fish sticks to the pan, give it about 30 seconds more. It will release when it's ready.)
3. 3Next, use a thin metal spatula to flip the fish over. Top each fillet with a knob of butter.Cook them approximately one minute, and then remove them from the pan.
4. 4Mix all the yogurt, mustard, and capers together. Taste, and add a little caper brine if desired.Serve fish immediately with sauce and optional garnish.
