Ingredients:

  • 60g pitted Sicilian green olives 
  • 1 lemon 
  • 80ml extra virgin olive oil, plus extra, to drizzle 
  • 1/4 bunch oregano 
  • 4 zucchinis 
  • 2 bunches baby carrots 
  • 2 cloves garlic 
  • 4 x 180g pieces snapper fillet, pin-boned, skin on 
  • 2 cups rocket 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200C fan-forced. Place olives in the bowl of a food processor. Squeeze over lemon juice, then add 60ml (1/4 cup) oil. Pick 2 tablespoons oregano leaves, add to olive mixture, then process until combined.
  2. Trim zucchinis and carrots, then scrub carrots (there’s no need to peel). Using a mandolin, cut vegetables lengthwise into 3mm-thick strips (alternatively, use a knife). Drizzle 2 large oven trays with extra oil. Peel and flatten garlic, then rub on trays. Place vegetable strips flat over trays, drizzle with a little more oil, then season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
  3. Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, cut 3 slashes into fish skin (this helps keep fish flat during cooking), then rub with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook fish for 1½ minutes each side or until just cooked.
  4. Divide roasted vegetables and rocket among plates, then top with fish. Drizzle with olive dressing to serve.
