Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grains

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the barley and quinoa, and cook according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Zucchini

    Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the zucchini slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until tender and grill marks appear. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Make the Salsa

    In a bowl, combine corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, salt, and chopped parsley. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Barramundi

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season barramundi fillets with salt and black pepper. Cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, layer the cooked barley and quinoa, top with grilled zucchini, and place the cooked barramundi fillet on top. Spoon the corn and tomato salsa over the fish and serve immediately.
