Ingredients

  • 2 2 x 400g packets barramundi fillets, skin on

  • 300 g 300 risoni pasta

  • 2 2 lemons

  • ¾ ¾ x 200g tub HFM Homemade Pesto

  • 280 g 280 jar artichokes

  • 1 1 bunch broccolini

  • ½ ½ bunch Tuscan kale

  • From your pantry
  • Salt and pepper, to season

  • Olive oil, to drizzle

Method

  • Preheat oven to 220ºC fan-forced. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
  • Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Cook the risoni according to packet instructions. Drain well and put back in the pot. Finely grate in the zest of 1 lemon, then squeeze juice and add to risoni along with pesto. Finely slice the artichokes and add to the pot. Season and toss through.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large frying pan to high heat. Drizzle some olive oil and add the fish, flesh side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes until golden. Turn and cook for further 3 minutes until fish is golden and skin is crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, drizzle more olive oil and sauté the broccolini for approximately 3 minutes on each side. Set aside.
  • Cut off bottom hard end of kale, sauté with a drizzle of oil for 2 minutes. Serve fish with vegetables and risoni, plus lemon wedges.

Once fish is cooked and out of the pan, place pan back on heat and add crushed garlic, chilli flakes, ¼ cup white wine and 2 Tbsp butter. Deglaze with pan juices, bring to the boil, and add to fish.

Cook’s tips

  • Make two slits on each fish fillet, on the skin side, so it doesn’t curl up when cooking.
  • Add warm water to the risoni pasta if it gets a little sticky. This will help it to separate.
