Spiced Trout with Basmati Rice

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Marinating Time: 15 minutes

Method:

Mix together the yogurt, ginger, paprika and turmeric. Brush the paste over each trout fillet. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, rinse the rice and cook in just enough salted water to cover the rice for 15 minutes.

Heat the oil and fry the curry spices for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cinnamon bark and fry for 2 minutes. Throw in the onion wedges for a couple of minutes until they have softened. Add the peppers and stir-fry for 5 minutes.

Pre heat the grill and cook under a high heat for 6 minutes, turning the trout once. Toss the coriander into the vegetables, stir in the cooked rice and spoon into dishes. Break each trout fillet in half and lay of the top of the rice.

TIP:

Line the grill pan with oiled foil and lay the trout on top to prevent the fish from sticking. Look out for whole stalks of coriander with the roots intact. The root has a pungent aroma and intense flavour. Finely chop and add to the pan together with the peppers.
