Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bronzino fillets
- 3 large zucchini
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 bunch fresh parsley
- 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse and pat dry the bronzino fillets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the bronzino fillets skin-side down, and sear for about 2-3 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Flip the fillets carefully and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create zucchini noodles. Set them aside.
In a food processor, combine almond flour, garlic, parsley (reserve a few leaves for garnish), the juice of half a lemon, capers, and remaining olive oil. Blitz until you have a smooth, green barada sauce. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
In a non-stick frying pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still slightly crunchy.
Toss the zucchini noodles with half of the barada sauce and some additional lemon juice if desired.
To serve, pile the zucchini noodles onto serving plates. Top each with a bronzino fillet and generously drizzle with the remaining barada sauce.
Garnish with reserved parsley leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
