Jump to recipe

Mouth-watering Asian flavours spring to life in this tasty pan-fried trout with refreshing cucumber side salad.

1/3 cup (80ml) organic shoyu or soy sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons mirin
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine (shaohsing)
Pinch of caster sugar
4 ocean trout fillets, skinned, pin-boned (ask your fishmonger to do this)

Daikon, coriander and cucumber salad

1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Juice of 1 lime
200g daikon (Asian white radish), peeled, cut into thin shreds or coarsely grated
2 Lebanese cucumbers, cut into thin strips using a vegetable peeler
1/2 cup firmly packed coriander leaves

Method

1.

Combine shoyu, mirin, rice wine and sugar in a large bowl. Add the trout and turn to coat. Stand while you make the salad.
2.

For the salad, whisk together the mirin, vinegar, sesame oil and lime juice in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss to coat.
3.

Heat a large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Drain trout, reserving marinade, and cook, in batches if necessary, for 2 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to plates. Add marinade to the pan and boil, shaking the pan, for 1 minute or until thickened slightly.
4.

Drizzle the trout with pan juices and serve immediately with the salad.
