Seared Barramundi with Lemony Couscous

plus Steamed Asparagus & Basil Aioli

5 min
Difficulty: 1/3

**Now with more couscous! You asked, we listened: This isn't the HelloFresh you remember. Bigger menu. Upgraded recipes. Increased portion sizes. More variety. The best way to cook dinner just got BETTER.** The flavor of buttery, flaky barramundi truly shines when it's sprinkled with salt and pepper and seared to perfection. Lemon-garlic pearl couscous forms a hearty base, and steamed carrots make a sweet and simple side. A dollop of basil aioli brings the dish together with a creamy, herby hit of summer flavor!

Preparation
1
Start Couscous

  • In a small pot, combine couscous, stock concentrate, 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

2
Prep

  • While couscous cooks, wash and dry produce.

  • Quarter lemon.

  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaisebasil paste, half the garlic powdersalt, and pepper.

3
Cook Barramundi

  • Pat barramundi* dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add barramundi, skin sides down, and cook until skin is crispy, 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook until barramundi is opaque and cooked through, 2-3 minutes more.

  • Turn off heat; transfer fish to a plate. Wipe out pan.

4
Cook Carrots

  • Heat pan used for barramundi over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add a drizzle of olive oil, carrots, and ¼ cup water (for 4 servings, you may need to work in batches, adding another ¼ cup water between batches). Cover and steam until carrots begin to soften, 2-3 minutes.

  • Turn off heat; season with salt and pepper.

5
Finish Couscous

  • Stir remaining garlic powder, 1 TBSP butter, and a squeeze of lemon juice into pot with couscous (use 2 TBSP butter and a big squeeze of lemon juice for 4 servings).

  • Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

6
Serve

  • Dollop basil aioli in center of each plate. Divide couscous, carrots, and barramundi between plates in separate sections around aioli. Serve.
