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.
