Cooking steps
1

  • Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Zest and quarter lemon.

2

  • Place potatoes in a medium pot with stock concentrate and enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

  • Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot. Mash with sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season generously with salt and pepper. PRO TIP: Swap in Greek yogurt for sour cream for an even more gut-friendly option.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

 

 

3

  • While potatoes cook, cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.

  • Roast on top rack until golden brown and crispy, 15-20 minutes.

4

  • While broccoli roasts, pat barramundi* dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with a drizzle of oil. Season generously all over with salt and pepper, then rub paprika into flesh sides.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add barramundi, skin sides down; cook until skin is crispy, 3 minutes. Turn off heat.

  • Transfer barramundi, skin sides down, to a second lightly oiled baking sheet. Roast on middle rack until cooked through, 10-12 minutes.

5

  • Meanwhile, heat pan used for barramundi over medium heat. Add 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) and scallion whites. Cook, carefully swirling butter, until foamy and flecked with amber brown bits, 2-3 minutes.

  • Turn off heat and add a big squeeze of lemon juice. Stir in lemon zest; season with salt and pepper.

6

  • Divide mashed potatoes, barramundi, and broccoli between plates. Top potatoes and barramundi with brown butter and sprinkle with scallion greens. (TIP: If brown butter is done before the rest of the meal, reheat over low heat, stirring, for 1 minute.) Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
