Preparation
1
Cook rice

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 1 1/4 cups water and 1/2 tsp garlic salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

2
Prep

Meanwhile, cut zucchini into 1/2-inch rounds. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lime into wedges. Roughly chop cilantro.

3
Cook veggies

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then peppers and onions. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to one side of a plate. Add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pan, then zucchini. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with 1/2 tsp garlic salt (dbl for 4 ppl) and pepper. Transfer zucchini to the other side of the plate, then cover to keep warm. Remove the pan from heat.

4
Cook barramundi

Pat barramundi dry with paper towels. Season with Mexican Seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat the same pan over medium, then add 1 tbsp oil. When hot, add barramundi, skin-side down. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook barramundi in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)Cook until skin is crispy, 4-5 min. Flip and cook until barramundi is opaque and cooked through, 1 min.** Transfer barramundi to another plate.

5
Make sauce

Carefully wipe the pan clean with paper towels. Add 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp water (dbl both for 4 ppl) to the same pan over medium. Swirl to melt butter, 1 min. Remove the pan from heat. Add lime juice. Stir until combined, 30 sec. Season with salt, then stir to combine.

6
Finish and serve

Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in onion-pepper mixture, lime zest and half the cilantro. Season with salt, then stir to combine. Divide rice between bowls. Top with barramundi and zucchini. Drizzle over lime-butter sauce. Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top. Squeeze over a lime wedge, if desired.
