Baked Trout, Thai Style

March 5, 2006 Andy 0 Comments

You lot seem to like my recepies, so here comes another. I got the idea from “The Circle of Friends Cookbook” (something put together by a colleague of my sister) but changed it based on my Thai cooking experiences.

Stuff to cook

  • Trout or Rainbow Trout
  • Green Pepper
  • Mushrooms
  • Potatoes

Stuff for the Marinade / Sauce

  • 1 stalk of lemon grass
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 small red chilli
  • 1 Challot or small onion
  • A thumb of ginger
  • Black Pepper
  • Corriander Seeds
  • Soya sauce
  • Olive Oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Grated rind of the lemon

Chop and grind the onion, garlic, ginger, chilli, lemongrass, pepper and coriander seeds into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, soya sauce and olive oil and blend into a runny paste.

Clean the fish and slash three or four times on each side (this allows the marinade to soak in further). Place the fish in a suitable baking tray and cover in the marinade working this into the slashes. Leave to marinate for several hours.

Heat the oven to 200 degrees C. Boil the potatoes for 10 minutes and drain (batter them about a bit to give fluffy edges). Add the patatoes, mushrooms and pepper around the fish in the baking try. Cover with lid or foil and place in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Baste occasionally to spread the sauce over the fish and vegatables.

Serve, decorate with corriander leaves and enjoy!
