The meaty, Omega 3 rich trout is a highly versatile fish, and one I often use as an alternative to Salmon. In this recipe, it perfectly compliments the punchy flavours of the Ginger and Chilli. Goes great with a side of courgette (zucchini) pasta and a wedge of lime.

This recipe sounds absolutely delicious! I love how the ginger and chilli add a punchy flavour to the trout. I've been looking for new ways to cook fish, and this seems perfect. Can't wait to try it this weekend with some courgette pasta on the side. Thanks for sharing!
