Cooking Steps
• Chop broccoli (including stalk!) into small florets.
• Thinly slice zucchini into sticks.
• Finely chop garlic.
• Slice lemon into wedges.
• Roughly chop capers.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add broccoli and zucchini and cook, tossing, until softened, 5-6 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl, season to
taste with salt and pepper and allow to cool slightly.
TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a generous drizzle
of olive oil.
• Pat barramundi dry with paper towel and season both sides with salt and
pepper. When oil is hot, cook barramundi, skin-side down first, until just cooked
through, 4-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness).
• In the last minute of cook time, add capers and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Remove pan from the heat, then add a generous squeeze of lemon juice.
TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!
• To the bowl with slightly cooled veggies, add baby spinach leaves and a
generous squeeze of lemon juice.
• Divide seared barramundi and garlicky veggies between plates. Spoon herby
caper topping from pan over barramundi.
• Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: Some found the dish mild and a little dull; adding a knob of butter to the caper pan sauce helped lift the overall flavour.
- Ease of prep: Straightforward enough for a first-time fish cook, with simple steps that come together quickly.
- Suggestions: Serving with rice worked well for some, as it soaked up the pan sauce and made the meal more filling.
- Portions: Several reviewers felt the fish-to-vegetable ratio was off, with too much broccoli and zucchini relative to the barramundi.
