Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a small frying pan, a small bowl, a grater & a sieve
Get started
- Cut the onion into 8 wedges. Cut the courgettes into 2cm batons. Dice the peppers into 2cm chunks
- Add all to the lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp oil, half the harissa, half the garlic paste and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well to coat and roast for 5 mins
- Meanwhile, add the quinoa to the saucepan and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain and return to the pan
Roast the barramundi
- After 5 mins, place the barramundi alongside the veg, drizzle with 2 tsp oil and coat with the remaining harissa and a pinch of salt and pepper
- Roast for 18 mins, until the fish is cooked through and the veg is tender
Toast the almonds & make the dill yoghurt
- Meanwhile, heat the small frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the almonds and toast for 2-3 mins, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove and set aside
- Finely chop the dill. Zest half the lemon and cut into wedges
- In the small bowl, combine the yoghurt, half the dill, remaining garlic paste, the juice from 1 lemon wedge and a pinch of salt and pepper
Plate up
- When everything's ready, stir the lemon zest and a pinch of salt into the cooked quinoa
- Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
- Serve the quinoa and veg onto plates, topped with the barramundi. Add a dollop of dill yoghurt on the side. Scatter over the toasted flaked almonds and remaining dill. Garnish with the remaining lemon wedges
