Tips

  • When using trout, do not include the fat as it can be very fishy.
  • Pat the fish dry with tissue to prevent excess water.
  • You can use salmon loin if not on a budget.
  • For the teriyaki sauce, you only need to infuse the flavors, no need to wait for it to thicken.
  • If you don't have an oven, you can cook this on top of a stove.
  • Torch the cheese for added flavor.
  • Add sesame oil towards the end of cooking to preserve its essence.
