Barramundi: The breakfast boost you didn’t know you needed

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and what you eat for breakfast sets the tone for the day ahead.  

Aside from boasting high levels of omega-3 fatty acids (which lowers blood pressure, reduces joint inflammation, helps nourish brain and eye function and helps to prevent a long list of medical conditions including dementia and asthma), swapping out your standard piece of peanut butter toast and coffee for an Aussie barramundi brekky is an option you might not have considered, but enough can’t be said for a piece of Aussie barra making an appearance on your breakfast plate.  

With its neutral, light flavouring, it’s easy to incorporate Australian Barramundi into your breakfast without sacrificing all the good bits like bacon, avocados and FLAVOUR! 

AND before you start telling us how you’re already strapped for time in the morning and barely get time for a coffee - this entire recipe goes in the air-fryer!
