The first time SWMBO suggested braising my Tooliorook trout I shied away, salivating over the thought of smoking it. I relented and handed over a few spare cutlets and this was the result :
The next time I pretty much handed her the fish as I walked in the door. Lesson learned. When a Vietnamese girl wants to cook your fish, you let her.
Pineapple and bit of juice (sub tomatoes and soy sauce for a more robust flavour as per the first picture)
sliced mushrooms
lemon juice
oyster sauce
water
palm sugar
garlic
fish of the day...the trout was sublime, I'm assured it'll be better with snapper.
serve on rice garnish with coriander
