fish

T'other half loves his fish whereas I can't stand it so therefore I don't cook it.

So I'm after some fishy dishes.

Anything really as he will eat anything.

I can vouch for this one as being great and really easy to do, as is most of Stein's stuff.

This is one i did the other day...i wasnt measuring the ingredients so this is my best recollected guess!

Buy a big trout (cleaned)

shred up a big chunk of ginger (size of a ping pong ball)
Shred a dozen spring onions
shred 4 cloves of garlic
shred 2 red chillies
bash 2 sticks of lemongrass
2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 tablespoons soy sauce
A glass of dry white wine / dry sherry / rice wine if you have it
A teaspoon of sugar
A teaspoon of thai fish sauce

Mix all the liquid ingredients, the garlic, sugar, and the ginger in a bowl. pour over the trout in a baking dish and marinate for an hour in the fridge, turning once. Make sure the belly of the fish gets some garlic and ginger bits in it.

Remove from the fridge, season with lots of pepper, cover with the spring onions, lemongrass and chillies.

Cover the trout with foil and bake in a preheated oven @ 200c for 15-20 minutes (depending on size of fish), its ready when the flesh is flaky and firm like a good fish and chips.

Have some boiled rice and steamed vegetables on the side.

Its really nice with a semi-sweet wine like a Riesling or Gewurztraminer.

Glad it worked for you

It steams well too, but you need a very wide steamer to fit a whole fish in.

Anyone here poach fish often? I've never really done it - I always use the griddle or cook it in the oven in foil. I'm trying to work out the best way to do salmon fillets for the gf who I am slowly converting to fish, so I don't want any strong flavours, just really tender, moist fish.

Try steaming the salmon fillets instead of grilling them. Its the only way I know how to cook fish
