Preparation
1
Cook rice

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Peel, then mince or grate the garlic. Drain and rinse corn. Heat a medium pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then the rice, half the garlic and a quarter of the corn (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min. Add 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.

2
Prep

While the rice cooks, cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch rounds. Zest, then juice half the lime (whole for 4 ppl). Roughly chop the cilantro. Pat the barramundi dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with the Mexican Seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

3
Cook zucchini

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then the zucchini. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Add the remaining garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

4
Cook barramundi

Add the barramundi, skin-side down, to the same pan. (TIP: Add 1/2 tbsp oil to the pan, if it looks dry.) Cook, until the skin is crispy, 6-7 min. Flip the barramundi over and cook until cooked through, 3-4 min.\*\* Transfer to a plate, skin-side up.

5
Make sauce

Add 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp water (dbl both for 4 ppl) to the same pan. Swirl to melt, 1 min. Remove the pan from heat. Add the lime juice. Stir together, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until combined, 30 sec. Season with salt.

6
Finish and serve

Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the lime zest and season with salt. Divide rice between bowls. Top the Mexican-spiced barramundi and garlicky zucchini. Drizzle with the lime-butter sauce. Sprinkle the cilantro over top.
