Ingredients:
For the fish:
- 300 g trout (approximately 150 g per serving)
- 20 g almonds (ground)
- 20 g breadcrumbs
- 5 g mustard seeds
- 5 g oyster sauce
- 5 g Vifon hot sauce (or any hot sauce you prefer)
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
- salt to taste
- oil for greasing the pan
For the exotic sauce:
- 20 g pomegranate seeds
- 20 g mango (diced)
- 1 green onion (finely chopped)
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 small red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 clove of garlic (minced)
Preparation:
1. Preparing the trout:
- Start by descaling and gutting the trout. Cut off the tail and portion the fish into fillets if you prefer. Make sure to wash it well under cold water, then dry it with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle salt on each fillet and let it absorb the flavors for a few minutes.
2. Preparing the crust:
- In a bowl, mix the ground almonds, breadcrumbs, mustard seeds, oyster sauce, Vifon hot sauce, and finely chopped rosemary leaves. This crust will provide a crunchy texture and delicious flavor to the fish.
- Brush the trout fillets with the crust mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
3. Baking the trout:
- Take a loaf pan and lightly grease it with oil. Place a sheet of parchment paper inside, making it easy to remove the fish after baking.
- Place the trout in the pan and put it in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes. The fish should be well cooked and the crust should become golden and crispy.
4. Preparing the exotic sauce:
- In a bowl, combine the diced mango, pomegranate seeds, green onion, red onion, and garlic. Add the lemon juice and olive oil, mixing well to combine the flavors.
- Season the sauce with salt to taste and let it chill for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
Serving:
Remove the trout from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Place each portion on a platter and pour the exotic sauce over it. This dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad or baked potatoes. Enjoy your meal!
Practical tips:
- If you want to try a vegetarian version, you can use tofu or grilled vegetables instead of fish.
- Instead of almonds, you can use pecans or cashews for a different crust.
- Make sure the mango is ripe for a sweet and juicy flavor in the sauce.
