How to Make Sesame Crusted Trout With Ginger Scallion Salad

  1. Rinse two trout fillets (approximately 6 ounces each) under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Drizzle fillets with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Dredge the skinless side of each fillet in 1/4 cup sesame seeds, ensuring even coating.
  3. In a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until the foam subsides.
  4. Place the trout fillets skin-side up in the hot pan.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.
  7. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 5-8 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque, pinkish-white, and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. While the trout cooks, prepare the Ginger-Scallion Salad: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and a pinch of sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  9. Serve the seared trout immediately, topped with a generous spoonful of the Ginger-Scallion Salad.
