Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato and capsicum into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop snacking tomatoes. • Drain sweetcorn.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook corn, tossing, until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. • Transfer to a medium bowl. Set aside to cool slightly.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are 'popping' out.
• SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot. Add less if you're sensitive to heat and substitute with a little more flour. On a plate, combine Mexican Fiesta spice blend, the plain flour and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Add barramundi, gently turning to coat. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook barramundi until just cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness).
TIP: Barramundi is cooked through when it turns from translucent to white.
• While barramundi is cooking, add tomato to the bowl with corn. • Add a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Toss to coat. Season to taste.
• Divide seared Mexican-spiced barramundi and roast veggies between plates. • Spoon any pan juices and tomato-corn salsa over the barramundi. • Sprinkle with chilli flakes (if using). • Serve with a dollop of garlic aioli. Enjoy!
