Ingredients:
  • 300g palm sugar*
  • 2 limes, grated, juiced
  • 2 kaffir limes leaves*, very finely sliced
  • 2cm piece ginger, cut into very thin strips
  • 1 large red chilli, seeds removed, thinly sliced
  • 48.80 gm fish sauce
  • 18.40 gm vegetable oil
  • 4 x 180g skinless ocean trout fillets, pin-boned
  • Baby Asian salad leaves, to serve
  • 2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1 lime, grated, juiced
  • 13.60 gm desiccated coconut, dry-roasted
  • 800.00 gm cooked jasmine rice
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, combine palm sugar and 150ml water, stirring over low heat for 1-2 minutes until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and cook for 5-6 minutes until mixture caramelizes. Stir in rind, juice, kaffir lime, ginger, chili, and fish sauce, cooking for an additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a spacious non-stick frypan, heat up oil, then sear the fish for 2 minutes. Flip the fish and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Lastly, pour in the sauce and continue cooking for 1 minute, while continually basting the fish with the sauce.
  • Prepare the rice while the chili mixture is infusing. Mix the chili with 1 tablespoon of boiling water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Add the zest, juice, and coconut, then mix everything into the cooked rice.
  • Arrange the coconut rice on plates, layer with the fish and sauce, and accompany with fresh salad leaves.
