Tom Walton's Crispy Barramundi ‘Niçoise’ Salad with Tomatoes

  • Carb-Conscious
  • Family Friendly

Here's my not-so-traditional take on a Niçoise salad. I've given this version of the French classic a bit of an Australian accent by making it with pan-crisped barramundi fillets, which I've left whole. I've also added simmered cherry tomatoes for a bit sweetness that works beautifully with the salty hit of capers and olives.

Cook Fish

Pat barramundi skin dry with paper towel and season with salt. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a frypan over medium-high heat. Add fish, skin-side down, and cook, pressing down with a spatula to keep the fish flat, for 4 minutes or until skin is golden. Turn and cook for a further 3–4 minutes or until fish is just cooked through. Set aside on a plate to rest and keep warm.

Cook Tomato

Return frypan to medium-high heat. Add tomato and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until tomato starts to breakdown. Add capers, olives and parsley and cook for a further 30 seconds or until warmed through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
