Ingredients
  • Butterflied trout fillet: 2
  • Soy sauce: 3 tsp
  • Sugar: ½ tsp
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Sesame oil: 1 tbsp
  • Chopped garlic: 1 tsp
  • Chopped ginger: 1 tsp
  • Chopped onion or shallots: ¼ cup (optional)
  • Chopped green or spring onions: 2-3 stalks
Method
  1. Remove the main bone of the rainbow trout and butterfly fillet them. Pour 2 tsp soy sauce over the fish and rub them with sugar, salt and pepper. Keep aside.
  2. Heat sesame oil and shallow fry the fish skin side down till the skin is crispy. (You can fry the other side too, but don't overcook it because we will again cook it with the ginger garlic.)
  3. Remove the semi-fried fish fillet and in the same oil, saute some onions or shallots, ginger, garlic and green onions along with 1 tsp soy sauce on medium high heat for a couple of minutes.
  4. Place the fish in the pan too and let it cook again for 2-3 minutes so that the flavors from the ginger, garlic etc get infused properly. Check seasoning; soy sauce is salty too, so use less salt while cooking.
  5. Remove from heat and spoon over the sautéed onions and ginger over the fish. Serve with white or wild rice and pickled radish, celery or any other salad of your choice.
