Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces trout fillets
- 0.5 cups sesame seeds (white and black mix, optional)
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 stalks scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, julienned
- 0.5 cups cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Season the trout fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Set up a dredging station: place flour in a shallow dish, beat the egg in a second shallow dish, and spread sesame seeds in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each fillet lightly in the flour, dip it in the egg, and then press into the sesame seeds to coat both sides evenly.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 fillets at a time for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the sesame seeds are golden and the fish is cooked through. Repeat with remaining fillets, adding more oil as needed.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and red chili flakes (if using). Mix well to make the dressing.
In a large bowl, toss the scallions, ginger, and cilantro with the dressing until evenly coated.
To serve, place the sesame-crusted trout fillets on plates and top with the ginger scallion salad. Drizzle any remaining dressing over the salad and fish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
