Barramundi has been available quite often in my local supermarket. This recipe would also be good with tilapia. The butter-lemon-basil sauce is also good over brown rice.

Barramundi with Macadamia and Lemon Myrtle Crust image

I had a very similar dish to this in Northern Queesland. It was made with wild barramundi (much nicer than farmed) and came over an artichoke and semi-sundried tomato cous cous with lime wedges on the side.
