HONEY GLAZED TROUT BITES

Honey glazed trout bites. Fresh trout fillets have a mild taste that can easily take on bolder flavours. The Asian-style glaze in this recipe perfectly complements the juicy, bite-size pieces of trout. Recipe created for www.chalkstreamfoods.co.uk by Sian Hughes AKA @recipebreakout

Prep and cooking time: About 30 minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients

2 x 130g trout fillets
2 cups of rice
2 large carrots
6 spring onions
Sprinkle of sesame seeds
1 lime, cut into quarters
Sprig of coriander or parsley
Salad bits of your choice

Honey Glaze

1 tbsp of runny honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp garlic paste
Drizzle of olive oil

Method

• Start by making the glaze with the runny honey, soy sauce, ginger and garlic paste and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Mix well with a small whisk.
• Cut each fillet of trout into 5-6 bite sized pieces and carefully coat in the glaze.
• Transfer to an oven proof dish and pop in a moderate to high oven for 7-8 mins until the trout is cooked and the glaze is sticky.
• Retain any leftover glaze to serve on the side.
• In the meantime, get your rice on… enough for two, following the instructions on the pack.
• While that’s cooking, prep a few salad bits… some raw, thinly peeled carrot and a spring onion, finely sliced.
• Drain the rice, divide between two bowls, add in the trout, sprinkle with mixed sesame seeds and add in the salad bits!
• Finish with a few slices of lime and some coriander or parsley.
