There is nothing healthier than a dinner of fresh fish and a salad. Just thinking about eating it exudes health and well-being. If you’re interested in having a well-balanced diet, you should be including fish in your meal plan about twice a week.
It’s understandable that a lot of people don’t like fish. Maybe it’s the texture, maybe the flavor, or maybe it’s just the thought of eating a sea creature? Unless you are allergic to fish, you really don’t have a good reason not to eat it. Kind of like how you don’t have a good reason not to eat your broccoli.
Barramundi Fish
The barramundi fish is also known as the Asian seabass is native to Australia and the Indo-Pacific. It is one of the most delicious and versatile fish you will find. I recently had the pleasure of trying this amazing fish when I ordered it as one of my Hello Fresh meals.
BTW – I highly recommend using them for your food delivery service as it is one of the best ways to meal prep as it takes the hassle out of figuring out what’s for dinner. Plus you’ll make some pretty amazing meals!

The Ingredients
- 24 oz. of Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 2 Tbsp. of fry seasoning (if you don’t have a favorite, any seasoned salt will work)
- SnapDragon apples 2-3
- 2 lemons
- 4 Tbsp. sour cream
- 4 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1 tsp of horseradish powder
- 20 oz. of Australis Barramundi
- 1 bag of mixed greens
- Salt

The Directions
Step 1:
Roast the Potatoes – Set the oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut them into ½” wedges and toss them on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and 1 tbsp. of fry seasoning and keep them roasting until they are golden brown.
Step 2:
Marinate the Apples – While your potatoes are roasting halve, core, and thinly slice the apples and place them into a bowl. Squeeze in half a lemon.
Step 3:
The Horseradish Sauce – In a bowl combine sour cream and mayonnaise. Stir in horseradish powder and squeeze in some lemon juice. Add some salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4:
Sear the Fish – Pat the fish dry with a paper towel. Season the entire fish with the rest of the fry seasoning or seasoned salt. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and cook the barramundi with the skins side down over medium-high heat.
Cook the fish until the skin is crispy and then flip and cook the other side until the fish is cooked all the way through. About 4 minutes on each side.
Step 5:
Make the Salad – Combine the bag of mixed greens with your marinated apples. Add some salt, pepper, and olive oil and toss.
Step 6:
Plate the potatoes, fish, and salad. Add some horseradish sauce to the top of the fish. You can serve the rest of the sauce as a side for dipping the fish or potatoes. Enjoy!
