Ingredients

• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Pat the rainbow trout fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the sauce.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.

Once the skillet is hot, place the trout fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin becomes crispy.

Step 5

Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Pour the prepared sauce over the fish in the skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets to glaze them.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the fillets with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 8

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the trout just before serving for an extra layer of brightness.

Step 9

Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
