Crispy Skin Ocean Trout Recipe

Just when the day seems cold and dark...

I decide to cook me up something spectacular as I dream of foodie days gone by, in particular a certain degustation course served up by Tetsuya's.

However, differing from his genius and going down the path of more ready steady cook and inspired by Masterchef... here is what I did for lunch:

Ingredients:
Snow Peas
Ocean Trout
Lemon
Cucumber
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Sea Salt
Cracked Pepper

Method:
Part 1:

Drizzle your plate with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Line the side of the dish with cucumber pieces (roughly chopped).

Part 2:

Marinate the ocean trout with the sea salt and cracked pepper, paying more attention to the skin (as we want a really crispy finish).

Heat up some olive oil in the pan.

In the meantime, add the snow peas to boiling water (for about 3-4 minutes).

Cook the fish (skin side facing down) in the pan.

Part 3:

Dish up the snow peas and place on plate.

Once the skin is crispy, turn the fish over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. It's okay for it to be raw in the middle... DO NOT overcook it.



Dish up and serve with a wedge of lemon, and Voila'! You have a fantabulous lunch.


I have one more piece of ocean trout, for tomorrow. What shall I do?
