Roasted Broccolini and Barramundi Salad with Miso

Posted 2015-09-17 by Annalisa Brown ⇒ follow

Broccolini is a naturally sweet vegetable and when chargrilled the smoky overtones only enhance the taste and caramelised texture. Although Broccolini is a spring vegetable the fact that it can be cultivated year round makes this dish a great seasonal salad, not only is it robust, it’s light and full of goodness.

I saw a version of this dish in a Japanese restaurant; quite apt considering the Sakata Seed Company in Japan originally developed this hybrid Broccoli-Chinese Kale vegetable.

The salad used Kingfish Sashimi, however, I recently came across some fresh Barramundi at the Sydney Fish Markets , and I couldn’t contain my adventurous culinary streak and decided to try and replicate the restaurant dish using Barramundi instead.

The end result was just as delicious.

is a dish that contains many healthy and nutritious layers.
