This recipe for baked barramundi toasts with red pepper and corn salsa has quickly become one of my favorite white fish appetizers using baguettes. With the growing popularity of barramundi fish recipes available, I wanted to create a pretty, but simple, make-ahead fish hors d’oeuvres recipe. This app starts with a garlic crostini toast, then a layer of ridiculously-easy red pepper and corn salsa, and finally, the star of the show: a bite of lemon herb butter Australis Barramundi. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients
Red pepper and corn salsa
  • 1 Red pepper diced
  • 1/2 Onion diced
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup Corn frozen
  • 1/2 tbsp butter
Barramundi
  • 1 package Australis Barramundi lemon herb butter flavor
Garlic toasts
  • 1 baguette
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Balsamic glaze (optional)
  • 1 tbsp basil fresh (optional)
Instructions
  1. Prepare red pepper, onion and corn salsa. Over medium heat, add diced red pepper and onion to a large pan. Add oil, salt and pepper. Stir regularly for 6-8 minutes, until onions soften and begin to become transparent. Add corn and butter to the salsa. Stir regularly for 3-5 minutes until corn is warm.
  2. Make garlic toasts. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange baguette slices on a pan lined with parchment paper. Mix together garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. Brush baguette slices with garlic mixture. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 until toasts are lightly golden brown.
  3. Cook barramundi as instructed on package... From frozen, bake lemon herb butter barramundi at 425 degrees for 22 minutes on a parchment linen pan in the oven.
  4. Assemble barramundi toasts. First, top garlic toasts with a layer of pepper, corn, and onion salsa. Cut each fillet of barramundi into four pieces (one package of three Australis Barramundi fish creates twelve fish toast appetizers). Add barramundi to toasts, drizzle with balsamic, and top with basil.

Recipe Notes
  • One package of barramundi creates twelve fish toast appetizers. One package of Australis Barramundi fish has three fillets, and each fillet is cut into four pieces for this recipe.
  • Working with pre-marinaded barramundi is a great shortcut for this recipe. Australis barramundi comes in three varieties: original, lemon herb butter, and garlic teriyaki glazed.
  • The pepper and corn salsa is great to make in large batches.
  • Buying pre-sliced baguettes is a wonderful shortcut. I ask the baker at the grocery store to slice my loaf fresh.
  • A sprinkle of basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze gives the fish toasts a beautiful presentation. I used this balsamic glaze.
