Pan-fried Fillet of Barramundi, Bulgur Wheat Risotto and Halloumi
When I first started cooking this Barramundi meal, I wasn't sure if it would be suitable for publishing, being a new combination of elements for me, even though I have eaten them all separately before. My goal was to serve perfectly cooked crispy Barramundi fillets with a tasty and low calorie grain dish as a side, and some pan fried halloumi because we love it. This meal exceeded my expectations and the fish was the perfect protein to serve with the Risotto.
