    From the Test Kitchen

    This Japanese-inspired dish highlights a bevy of toppings for delicious contrast in every bite: rich, flaky trout dressed with citrusy ponzu, cooling avocado, and soy-marinated peppers and cucumbers all come together with a zesty sauce of mayo and sambal oelek (a type of Indonesian chile paste).

    tips & techniques
    Cook the rice
    1 Cook the rice

    In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 11/4 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 15 to 17 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in the mirin.

    2 Cook the trout

    Meanwhile, pat the trout dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the seasoned trout, skin side up. Loosely cover the pan with foil. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Flip and cook 2 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a large bowl. 

    *The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.

    Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores, then thinly slice into rings. Medium dice the cucumbers. Combine the sliced peppers and diced cucumbers in a bowl. Add the sugar and soy glaze; stir to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Halve and pit the avocado. Using a spoon, remove the avocado from the skin, then medium dice; place in a separate bowl. Add the furikake and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper.
