Seafood Feast

Every weekend we love to try cooking something different from my usual mon-fri meal. So last weekend we went crazy in buying seafood. There were crabs, trout, salmon and more fish hehe. So my dear husband, cooked me a Seafood Feast.

We had Grilled Trout & Chilli Crab. So easy, so yummy and so messy (the kitchen will be upside down after he cooks!). Served with Jasmine rice, it was so mmm yummm.

Here are the recipes, just in case if you want to try it.

Grilled Trout
Ingredients:
  • 2 trout.
  • 1 tablespoons fresh parsley.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Juice from 1 lemon.
  • Salt & teaspoon black pepper to taste.
  • Coriander to garnish.
Method:
Lightly salt the interior and exterior of whole fish. Mix together parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Spread evenly on the inside of the fish. Cover and refrigerate to infuse the marinate. Preheat the grill. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper for extra seasoning and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side over a medium heat. Carefully remove the fish from grill and serve. For the sauce, use the left-over from marinade and add few cloves of pounded garlic and heat it on stove for a minute and toss on top of the grill fish and that’s it.
