How to Make Barramundi With Macadamia And Lemon Myrtle Crust

  1. Season 1/2 cup all-purpose flour generously with salt and pepper. Spread on a plate.
  2. Lightly beat 1 large egg in a separate bowl.
  3. Combine 1 cup ground macadamia nuts and 1 tablespoon dried lemon myrtle in a separate plate.
  4. Coat 4 (6-ounce) barramundi portions in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally, roll in the nut mixture to create a thick crust.
