HOMEMADE MEALS MONDAYS: rainbow trout, asian style!

So last weekend, the hubs and I decided to take a stroll down Pacific Palisades.  We had a delicious brunch at Cafe Vida and the Mexican hot chocolate was amazing!  Then we went shopping at the farmer's market down the street.  I've been to handful of farmer's markets and I get very excited when they sell poultry or any types of meats because it's not so common.  So imagine my excitement when we came across a booth that sold seafood! We had to get something just to support the local fisherman!  So the hubs decided on rainbow trout, not sure why.  Well I've never made it before but I did come up with this marinade for salmon a while back...I figured it's pretty fool-proof and it was haha!

Rainbow trout, Asian style!

4 rainbow trout fillets (we made the mistake of buying ones with bones and skin - it was a pain to remove after the fish was cooked!)
1 bunch of scallions/green onions
1/4 cup of grated ginger (peel first - love ginger!)
1 tablespoon of garlic
2 tablespoon of tamari or soy sauce
olive oil
salt and pepper

Ok this is extremely simple.  Chop up the scallions and grate the ginger.  Place half of the chopped scallions and half of the grated ginger in a storage bag.  Add the tamari or soy sauce, garlic, a little bit of olive oil and the fish fillets.  Mix it all up and marinade for about 10 minutes.  Then add some olive oil to a heated skillet. Stir in the other half of the scallions and ginger for a about a minute, then cook up the fillets!  It only takes a few minutes to cook each side of the fish.  That's it, you're done!  I've tried using this marinade with salmon and baking the salmon instead of cooking it in a skillet, and I have gotten the same yummy result!
