Roast barramundi in a rustic tray bake of fennel, eggplant, tomato and olives tossed with oregano. Served with a fresh side of mesclun leaves.
1. Set oven to 220ºC.
Slice fennel (reserve fronds) and onion. Dice eggplant. Toss together in oven dish with olives.
2. Stir in chopped tomatoes, 2 tsp oregano, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1/3 cup olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes.
3. Coat barramundi in 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Remove oven dish and tuck fillets into vegetables (skin side up). Return to oven for 15 minutes or until fish is cooked through.
4. Whisk together 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar and 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss dressing through mesclun leaves.
5. Divide vegetables and barramundi among shallow bowls. Garnish with reserved fennel fronds. Serve with salad.

Fennel seeds also work well in the tray bake.
Stretch the dish out and serve with quinoa on the side.
