Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 fillets Rainbow trout fillets
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Lime
Instructions
Pat the rainbow trout fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the sauce.
Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Once the skillet is hot, place the trout fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin becomes crispy.
Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Pour the prepared sauce over the fish in the skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets to glaze them.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the fillets with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the trout just before serving for an extra layer of brightness.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
