Ginger Soy Glazed Trout

• Prep time: 10 mins
• Cook time: 12 mins
• Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 2 trout fillets (skin-on)
• 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for searing)
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Whisk the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Set aside.
2. Sear the trout: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the trout fillets skin-side down and press gently for 10 seconds to prevent curling. Sear undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crisp.
3. Glaze the fish: Flip the fillets and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the soy-ginger glaze directly into the pan around the fish.
4. Baste: Spoon the bubbling glaze continuously over the top of the trout for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce reduces to a glossy, thick syrup and the fish is cooked through.
5. Garnish and serve: Transfer to plates, drizzle remaining pan juices over the top, and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
