There's plenty of fish in the sea, just like barramundi! Also known as Asian sea bass or giant sea perch, barramundi is a white, flaky fish with a mild flavour that makes it a great partner to punchy sauces like chilli oil.

Preparation

1
Get Started

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Pour the water for the couscous (see pantry for amount) and vegetable stock paste into a saucepan and bring to the boil.

When boiling, remove from the heat, stir in the couscous and half the chermoula spice mix along with a drizzle of olive oil, then pop a lid on the pan.

Leave to the side for 8-10 mins or until ready to serve.

2
Bake the Barramundi

While the couscous cooks, lay the barramundi fillets, skin-side down, onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt.

Sprinkle over the remaining chermoula spice mix and rub to coat.

When the oven is hot, bake the fish on the middle shelf of your oven until cooked through, 12-14 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.

3
Prep Time

While everything cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

Roughly chop the olives. Trim the cucumber, then halve lengthways. Cut into 1cm thick half moons.

Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

4
Chilli-Garlic Oil Time

Heat the olive oil for the drizzle (see pantry for amount) in a small saucepan on low heat.

Once hot, add the chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and garlic and immediately remove from the heat. Carefully stir until fragrant. 

Pop it in a small bowl, season the chilli-garlic oil with salt and pepper, then set aside for later.

5
All Together Now

When everything's ready, fluff up the couscous with a fork and stir through the olives, cucumber, rocket and half the coriander. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy.

Stir the remaining coriander through the chilli-garlic oil. 

6
Serve Up

When everything's ready, share the couscous between serving bowls.

Top with the baked barramundi, dollop on the Greek style yoghurt and drizzle over the garlic-chilli oil to finish.
