Barramundi with Lemon Caper Butter

Fresh Australian barramundi fillet pan-seared until the skin turns crispy, finished with a nutty lemon caper butter. Leaving the fish completely undisturbed for the first four to five minutes, skin-side down, is what lets the skin render and crisp fully instead of sticking and tearing.
