Instructions

1

Prepare the glaze

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.

Pro tip: Marinating the trout for longer intensifies the flavour.

2

Marinate the trout

Place the trout fillets in a shallow dish and pour the glaze over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Turn the fillets halfway for even marination.

3

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Parchment paper prevents the fish from sticking.

4

Arrange the fillets

Remove the trout from the marinade and place skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

5

Bake the trout

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish easily flakes with a fork.

Pro tip: For a crispy skin, broil for an additional 2 minutes.

6

Serve

Transfer the trout to a serving plate and drizzle with any remaining glaze. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Pro tip: Pair with a light white wine for a complete dining experience.
