1. 1

   Season the barramundi fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.

3. 3

   Once the butter is melted and hot, add the barramundi fillets to the skillet, skin-side down.

   In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant.

6. 6

   Return the barramundi fillets to the skillet and spoon the lemon butter sauce over the top.

8. 8

   Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the fillets and serve immediately.
