  1. 01Pat completely dry.
  2. 02Rub with oil and season.
  3. 03Place skin-side up in the basket if skin-on, or on parchment paper if skinless (barramundi sticks without the skin to protect it).
  4. 04Ready for the air fryer.
Barramundi is a sustainable, mild white fish that's increasingly available in US grocery stores. It has a buttery texture similar to sea bass at a lower price point. The skin crisps well if the fillet is skin-on, but many stores sell it skinless. If skinless, use parchment paper in the basket or the delicate flesh welds itself to the grate.
