Method

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C.

2. Prepare the Glaze

In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, caster sugar, sake, and rice vinegar. Simmer over medium heat for 5–6 minutes, or until the mixture reduces to a glossy glaze.

3. Cook the Ocean Trout

Place the Moofish Ocean Trout Fillets skin-side down on a baking paper-lined tray. Brush generously with the glaze and bake for 4–5 minutes, or until the trout is just cooked and still slightly pink in the centre. (For a firmer texture, cook for up to 8 minutes.) Brush with extra glaze after cooking, then gently flake into large chunks.

4. Cook the Soba Noodles

Cook the soba noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain, rinse under cold running water, and divide evenly between serving bowls.

5. Make the Sesame Ginger Dressing

Whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and freshly grated ginger until well combined.

6. Prepare the Vegetables

Blanch the snow peas and broccolini in boiling water for 1–2 minutes until just tender. Refresh in iced or cold water, then drain well.

7. Assemble the Bowls

Top the soba noodles with the broccolini, snow peas, julienned carrot, sliced shallots, and flaked Moofish Ocean Trout. Drizzle generously with the sesame ginger dressing and gently toss to combine.

8. Finish & Serve

Sprinkle with toasted black sesame seeds and serve immediately. For extra freshness, add lime wedges, fresh coriander, or a little chilli if desired.
