Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat BBQ to high heat. Thinly slice zucchini into 
strips lengthways. Trim ends of asparagus. Zest 
lime to get a pinch and then slice into wedges. Pick 
and finely chop rosemary.
• Thickly slice bake-at-home ciabatta. Brush each 
side of ciabatta with olive oil and season with salt
and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, asparagus
and a drizzle of olive oil.
• In a second medium bowl, combine barramundi, 
lime zest, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt
and pepper.

Grill the veggies & ciabatta
2

• When BBQ is hot, grill ciabatta, zucchini and 
asparagus until golden, 3-5 minutes each side. 
Transfer veggies to a bowl, season to taste and 
cover to keep warm.
• Remove ciabatta from BBQ, then roughly chop. 


No BBQ? In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil 
over medium-high heat. Cook zucchini and asparagus, 
until tender, 3-5 minutes each side. Transfer to a bowl, 
season and cover to keep warm. Toast ciabatta until 
golden and warmed through. Roughly chop. 

Grill the bacon
3

• Grill diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until 
golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. 


No BBQ? Return a large frying pan to medium-high heat 
with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon, breaking 
up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a 
large bowl. 

Grill the barramundi
4

• Grill barramundi on BBQ, skin-side down first, 
until charred and just cooked through, 5 minutes
each side. 


No BBQ? Wipe out frying pan and return turn to 
medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil 
is hot, cook barramundi, skin-side down first, until just 
cooked through, 5 minutes each side (depending on 
thickness). 

Toss the salad
5

• Meanwhile, halve snacking tomatoes.
• To the bowl with bacon, add snacking tomatoes, 
baby spinach leaves, ciabatta and a drizzle of 
vinegar and olive oil. Toss to combine. Season 
to taste.
• In a small heatproof bowl, add rosemary, the butter
and a generous squeeze of lime juice. Microwave in 
10 second bursts until melted and fragrant. Season 
to taste. 

Finish & serve
6

• Sprinkle flaked almonds over charred veggies. 
• Bring everything to the table.
• Serve barramundi with charred veggies, 
bacon-crouton salad, Italian truffle mayonnaise
and any remaining lime wedges. Pour rosemary 
butter over barramundi to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Delicious meal with tasty elements. Some found the rosemary butter and truffle mayonnaise unnecessary for the already flavourful fish.
  • Ease of prep: Recipe has many components, making it time-consuming. Some found it a bit involved, but still manageable.
  • Suggestions: Adjust barramundi cooking time for thinner pieces. Watch vegetables closely to avoid burning on the BBQ.
  • Portions: Large servings provided leftovers for some customers.
