Recipe makes for 2 Servings
1 lb whole trout, head and tail intact, scaled, gutted and cleaned
4 plump lemongrass stalks, trimmed and bruised
1 tbsp kosher salt
½ cup water
Directions:
Lay fish flat on a cutting board. Make 3 or 4 diagonal bone deep cuts in the fish perpendicular to the backbone about 1-inch apart on both sides.
Fold one lemongrass stalk in half and rub it all over the fish, inside and out. Discard. Gently rub salt into the skin and inside the cavity.
Tear the 3 remaining stalks into 4 strips. Lay in a grid-like pattern on the bottom of the clay pot in 3 layers. Place fish on top. Add enough water to reach the bottom layer of lemongrass without touching the fish.
Cover and bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once steam starts to appear from the hole of the lid, check water level and add more water if necessary. Steam for another 8-10 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Spoon the liquid over the fish before serving.
