Method

  1. To make the ginger and cucumber dressing, place sugar, lime juice, vinegar and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil. Cook for 2-3 mins or until syrup thickens slightly. Set aside to cool. Stir in the fish sauce, oil, cucumber and ginger.
  2. Heat a barbecue grill or chargrill on high. Brush carrots with a little oil. Season. Cook, turning occasionally, for 6-8 mins or until tender. Transfer to a plate. Cook asparagus, turning, for 2 mins or until bright green and tender. Add to the carrots on the plate.
  3. Brush barramundi with remaining oil. Sprinkle the skin with chilli, cumin and salt. Cook, skin-side down, for 4 mins or until golden brown and crisp. Turn and cook for 2-3 mins or until golden brown and just cooked through.
  4. Divide carrots and asparagus among serving plates. Top with barramundi and coriander. Drizzle with dressing.
