Honey and soy glazed trout
Trout makes a good substitute for salmon in this Asian-inspired quick fish dish from the Hairy Bikers. Serve with garlic bok choi.
Ingredients
For the trout
- 4 trout fillets, bones removed, skin scored
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp black sesame seeds
- 2 spring onions, trimmed, halved and shredded lengthways
- few sprigs of fresh coriander
For the marinade
- 75ml/2½fl oz light soy sauce
- 75ml/2½fl oz dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 50ml/2fl oz honey
- 1 lime, juice only
- 1 orange, juice only
- 5cm/2in piece fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
- 3 garlic cloves, grated
- dash sesame oil
Method
-
Whisk together all of the marinade ingredients in a wide bowl, making sure that the honey dissolves into the liquid. Add the trout fillets and submerge them in the marinade. Leave for at least 30 minutes.
-
Remove the trout from the marinade and pat dry with kitchen towel. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Cook the trout skin-side down for 3–4 minutes until you can see the flesh is cooked at least half way up the sides. Flip over and cook for another 1–2 minutes – it should remain slightly pink in the middle.
-
Remove the trout from the pan to a serving plate. Pour the marinade into the pan, bring to the boil and leave to bubble until reduced down to a syrupy sauce. Brush the sauce over the trout and sprinkle over the sesame seeds, spring onions and coriander. Serve any remaining marinade as an accompanying sauce.
