Ingredients

  1. 4 x 180g barramundi fillets, skin off
  2. 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  3. 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  4. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  5. 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
  6. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  7. 2 corn cobs, husks removed
  8. 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
  9. 1 small red onion, finely sliced
  10. 1 avocado, diced
  11. 1 tablespoon lime juice
  12. Salt, to taste
  13. Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped thyme, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and lemon rind. Dip each barramundi fillet into the spice mixture, pressing firmly to coat all sides.
  2. Preheat a barbecue grill or large chargrill pan over high heat. Lightly spray the corncobs, asparagus, and barramundi fillets with olive oil. Cook the corn, turning occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until lightly charred and tender. Grill the barramundi for 2-3 minutes on each side or until slightly charred and cooked to your liking. Cook the asparagus for about 2 minutes on each side until tender. Set the corn aside to cool slightly, then use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off
    the cob. Slice the asparagus in half lengthways.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped chilli, olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to create the dressing. On a serving platter, arrange the torn butter lettuce, cubed mango, fresh mint, sliced asparagus, and corn. Top with the grilled barramundi and drizzle
    the dressing over the top before serving.

Chef's Tip

Cajun barramundi is all about contrast — smoky spice, fresh seafood, and bright summer vegetables. The spice coating creates a light charred crust on the fish while keeping the barramundi moist and flaky inside. Sweet corn, creamy avocado, and fresh herbs help balance the heat of the Cajun spices, creating a vibrant, fresh dish full of texture and flavour.
