Ingredients

Trout fillets

2 large Trout fillets about 1 pound or 450 grams

Aromatics

2 stalks Fresh lemongrass finely chopped, about 30 grams
2 cloves Garlic minced, about 6 grams
1 inch Ginger root grated, about 15 grams

Other Ingredients

2 tablespoons Olive oil 30 ml
1 tablespoon Soy sauce (gluten-free) 15 ml
2 tablespoons Lime juice 30 ml
1 teaspoon Salt 6 grams
½ teaspoon Black pepper 1 gram
Fresh cilantro for garnish, optional

Instructions

Begin by preparing the trout. Rinse the fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine finely chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the aromatic base.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the lemongrass mixture and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Place the trout fillets in the skillet, skin side down. Cook for 3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the trout gently and pour the soy sauce and lime juice over the fillets. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the trout cook through, about 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Once the trout is cooked and flakes easily with a fork, remove from heat.
Transfer the trout to serving plates, spooning the lemongrass-infused sauce from the skillet over the fillets.
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

For a complete keto meal, serve with a side of stir-fried zucchini noodles or a fresh green salad.

Ensure the lemongrass is finely chopped to release its essential oils and maximize flavor infusion.

Always check the internal temperature of the trout with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
