Ingredients

Calorie controlled cooking spray

5 spray(s)

Spring Onions

1 medium, finely chopped

Garlic

½ clove(s), crushed

Chilli, green or red

½ individual, deseeded and finely chopped

Lime

¼ medium, finely grated zest and juice

Coriander, fresh

1 teaspoon(s), chopped

Root Ginger

¼ teaspoon(s)

Lettuce

4 leaf/leaves, small, from Chinese lettuce

Trout, raw

150 g, (4 x 150g fillets), skinned

Salt

1 pinch

Black pepper

¼ teaspoon(s)

Lettuce

¼ individual, (green salad) to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4/180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F. Spray a baking dish with low fat cooking spray.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan and spray with low fat cooking spray. Add the spring onions, garlic and chilli and stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the lime zest, coriander and ginger. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Discard the thick middle stem from the Chinese leaves, then put the leaves in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Leave them for 1 minute, then drain them well.
  4. Lay the trout fillets on a work surface, skinned side uppermost. Spread the spring onion mixture evenly over them. Fold them up by tucking the thin end to the centre, then lay the thick end on top. Sprinkle each one with lime juice.
  5. Wrap each trout fillet in two Chinese leaves. Place them in the baking dish and add 3 tbsp water. Cover and bake for 12-15 minutes. To check that the fish is cooked, the flesh should be opaque and will flake easily when tested with a fork. Serve, garnished with green salad.
