Instructions

1

In a small bowl, combine sliced radishes, rice vinegar, erythritol, and a pinch of salt. Toss and set aside to quick-pickle.

2

Pat trout fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Beat egg in a shallow dish. Mix white and black sesame seeds in another dish.

3

Dip each fillet in egg, then press firmly into the sesame seed mixture to coat one side well.

4

Lightly spray air-fryer basket with olive oil. Place trout fillets, sesame-side up, in the basket. Spray tops lightly with olive oil.

5

Air-fry at 400°F for 7–9 minutes or until fish flakes easily and sesame crust is golden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can substitute trout with salmon, arctic char, or any thin, skin-on white fish fillet suitable for air-frying.

The pickled radish is perfect for meal prep, but the trout is best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture. Reheat gently in the air-fryer to re-crisp the crust.

Yes, sesame seeds are seeds, not nuts, but always check for cross-contamination if you have severe allergies.

Pair with sautéed greens like spinach or bok choy, or a simple avocado salad for a fully keto plate.
