    •    Cook time: 18 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

    •    400g tomato medley mix
    •    2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    •    200g green beans, trimmed
    •    2 tbsps finely chopped fresh chives
    •    2/3 cup Australian extra virgin olive oil
    •    1 bunch broccolini trimmed, halved crossways
    •    1 small lemon, rind zested into fine strips, juiced
    •    2 tbsps finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
    •    4 (150g each) boneless barramundi fillet with skin on, skin scored

Method

1. Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
   
   
2. Place vegetables on prepared tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Bake for 12 minutes.
   
   
3. Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add fish, skin-side down. Cook for 2 minutes or until skin is very crispy around edges and centre is just starting to crisp. Place fish, skin-side up, on top of vegetables on tray. Bake for 4 minutes or until fish is just cooked through and vegetables are tender.
   
   
4. Heat remaining oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant (do not brown). Add chives and parsley. Cook for 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. Add lemon zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper.
   
   
5. Serve barramundi and vegetables drizzled with warm garlic and herb oil.
