Wash and dry all produce. Trim, peel, and halve carrots lengthwise; cut on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Trim and slice scallion whites into ¼-inch pieces; thinly slice scallion greens. Peel and mince ginger.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add carrots in an even layer; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned ~{5%minutes}.

Add zucchini, scallion whites, garlic powder, a big pinch of salt, and pepper to same pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened ~{4%minutes}. Remove pan from heat; keep covered until ready to serve.

While veggies cook, pat barramundi dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a #medium pan{}, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. Add barramundi, skin sides down, and cook until opaque ~{4%minutes}. Flip and cook until barramundi is cooked through ~{3%minutes} more. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan and let cool for at least 1 minute.

Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium heat. Add half the ginger and cook, stirring often, until toasted and fragrant ~{45%seconds}. Stir in miso sauce concentrate, jam, soy sauce, water, and sugar. Cook, stirring often, until combined and thickened, about ~{3%minutes}. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ginger and butter. If sauce is too thick, stir in water, 1 TBSP at a time, until mixture reaches desired consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Add barramundi to pan with sauce and turn to coat. Divide barramundi and veggie stir-fry between plates in separate sections. Drizzle barramundi with as much sauce as you like and sprinkle with scallion greens. Serve any remaining sauce on the side.
