Steamed trout in a coconut curry marinade

For once we wanted to do something different than stuffing a trout with slices of lime/lemon and fresh herbs and that worked out surprisingly well!

Although a trout tastes great on its own, in this dish we are going to cover it with a marinade. We turn it into an Oriental trout by marinating it with a coconut curry marinade.

Because of the marinading process we put the trout in aluminium foil with the edges folded up. This will prevent the marinade from leaking. Next, we will steam the trout. That means that we let it cook indirectly on the barbecue for 30 minutes.

If you don’t have a barbecue, you can also prepare this dish in the oven. In this case, place the trout in a preheated oven at 160 °C for 30 minutes.

Ask your fishmonger to clean the trout. He therefore takes out the intestines. This saves you a lot of work and time.
