Cooking steps
1
  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Finely chop cilantro. Zest and quarter lemon. Peel and mince or grate garlic.

2
  • Toss broccoli on a foil-lined baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.

  • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.

3
  • While broccoli roasts, in a small bowl, combine cilantro, half the cumin (you’ll use the rest later), half the lemon zest, 2 TBSP olive oil (4 TBSP for 4 servings), a big squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of garlic to taste. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste.

4
  • Heat 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add couscous and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring often, until garlic is fragrant and couscous is lightly toasted, 1-2 minutes.

  • Stir in 1 cup water (2 cups for 4) and stock concentrate. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

5
  • While couscous cooks, pat barramundi* dry with paper towels. Season all over with remaining cumin, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add barramundi and cook until opaque and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat.

6
  • Fluff couscous with a fork; season with salt and pepper.

  • Toss broccoli with remaining lemon zest.

  • Divide couscous, broccoli, and barramundi between plates. Top barramundi with cilantro sauce. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
