Our Pairing Suggestion
To pair with the dish, Luke Mangan stays away from buttery, oaky Chardonnays, opting instead for a New Zealand bottling that's crisper and more delicate, such as one from the cool Marlborough region.

- FAST
- HEALTHY
Ingredients
- 4 medium tomatoespeeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1/2 small red onion, minced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped basil
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Four 6-ounce, skin-on barramundi or sea bass fillets
- 2 limes, halved crosswise
- 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
- In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the onion, basil and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
- In a skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil until shimmering. Season the barramundi with salt and add to the skillet, skin side down. Cook over high heat until the skin is crisp, 3 minutes. Flip and cook over moderate heat until just white throughout, 2 minutes longer. Transfer to plates.
- Place the limes in the skillet, cut side down. Cook over moderately high heat until browned; transfer them to the plates.
- Stir the rice vinegar into the tomato salsa and season with salt. Spoon the salsa alongside the barramundi and serve.
