The beginning of my most recent blog post on barramundi. Salsa recipe and cooking pron is here...


Rest of the pictures and instructions is here (http://thebbqgrail.com/2009/10/19/wood-planked-barramundi-with-mango-salsa/).



The bbq/grilling menu lately has been a little heavy on the beef, pork and chicken proteins so a little seafood was in order for dinner last night. After some consultation with my Facebook "friends" I decided to give Barramundi a try.

Barramundi have white, flaky flesh, though the larger freshwater ones commonly carry a lot of body fat. Saltwater barramundi, however, have a general reputation as good eating. --Courtesy of Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barramundi)

I wanted something a little different than a normal tarter sauce for the fish so I made some Mango Salsa to top the fish.
Mango Salsa Recipe:


1 whole mango, peeled and chopped
1/2 red onion finely chopped (I think next time I'll only use 1/4 onion)
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded, finely chopped (want more heat, leave in the seeds and veins)
3 tbls Cilantro, finely chopped
3 tbls lime juice

Larry, why didn't you want the cedar plank to burn? I thought that was why you use a cedar plank.

That looks great. I have never heard of that fish before. Will have to try it. Love fish on cedar plank. My planks always burn some and I soak them for a long time. I like the foil idea
