I caught myself a trout and made it Asian!

Okay, so I didn't catch a trout, I bought it at the market, but I did make an asian sauce for it!  This was a new type of fish for me to work with, and a new sauce, but per the husband, he gave it a 9!  Great for a new fish and sauce!  Too garlic-ky for him;) 
 

What you'll need:

  • 1/2 lb - 1 1/2 lb of trout, or any flaky-type fish you like - depending on the amount of people - the husband ate about 3/4 lb of trout
  • 1 15 oz can of black beans, drained
  • 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 clove of garlic, chopped very small, or garlic you buy in a jar in the produce section - my garlic happened to be in the teriyaki sauce
  • Pam spray
Literally so quick and easy!  Pat your fish dry with paper towels.  Heat a fry pan on medium heat.  When heated, spray with Pam Spray.  Cook fish 4 minutes on each side, or until a bit browned.  While this is cooking, make your sauce.

To make the sauce, combine the drained beans, teriyaki sauce, and hoisin sauce into a food processor.  Pulse until the sauce is almost smooth. 




After the fish has cooked on both sides, pour sauce into the pan and bring to a boil. 


Yes, there is fish in there!


Once boiling, cover and let cook 8 more minutes, or until the fish is flaky (for me it was exactly 8 minutes).  Then, enjoy!  Sooo easy!  I paired it with a cheddar rice and salad, and yum!




This is bad, but me, CheyCanCook, was scared of the trout - not because it was bad, but just because I dont' really like...fish!  I wish I had tried it, and I planned to try a bite, but the husband ate it all up!  I had a lovely shrimp topped salad instead - all I did was use some small shrimp, and covered them with lemon juice, lime juice, and lemon pepper seasoning, and broiled them for about 10 minutes:)



 


Enjoy the rest of your night - I won't be so scared of trout next time;)   Sorry this post is so quick, but I can't wait to go keep reading Scarlett!!
