BOILED POTATOES
Place the potato chunks in a pot of salted water over a high heat. Bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling, remove the lid and reduce the heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until soft. On completion, remove from the heat and drain.
PICKLE THE VEG
Place the white wine vinegar in a bowl with a small splash of warm water. Add 2 tsp of a sweetener of choice and whisk together until dissolved. Toss the sliced cucumber and sliced radish through the mixture and set aside to pickle until serving.
WASABI MASH
Combine the wasabi powder with 1 tsp of water to form a smooth paste. Mash the cooked potato in the pot with a masher or fork until smooth. Add a splash of milk or water and a knob of butter or coconut oil (optional) and mix until creamy. Stir through some seasoning and the wasabi paste to taste. Pop on the lid and set aside to keep warm while you fry the trout.
SESAME-CRUSTED TROUT
Pat the trout dry with some paper towel. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the trout skin-side down for 3-4 minutes. Remove on completion, keeping the pan on the heat. Peel the skin from the trout, return it to the pan, and fry for about a minute each side until crispy. On completion, set aside to drain on some paper towel and keep the pan on the heat. Use the Sesame Seed Crust to coat the side of the trout where the skin was removed. Return to the pan, sesame-crust-side up, and fry for another minute. Remove from the pan on completion.
FINAL TOUCHES
Just before serving, drain the pickled veggies, reserving the pickling liquid. Roughly chop the crispy trout skin.
PLATE UP!
Make a bed of spicy wasabi mash and top with the sesame-crusted trout. Serve the pickled veggies on the side with some reserved pickling liquid if you’d like. Sprinkle over the sliced spring onion, crispy trout skin, and fresh coriander. Finish off with a drizzle of soy sauce to taste. Look at you go, Chef!
