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 a 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!
TIP: White fish is cooked through when the centre turns from translucent to white.
• To the bowl with slightly cooled veggies, add baby spinach leaves and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Toss to combine.
• Divide pan-fried barramundi and garlicky veggies between plates.
• Spoon over remaining lemon-caper sauce from the pan.
• Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
