To make garnish :

Chop up 1 large onion and heat it with 2 Tablespoons minced garlic in a large skillet in 2 Tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, uncovered, until soft, clear, and starting to carmelize (turn brown); takes about 10 minutes. Next add 2 Tablespoons ginger and 2 Tablespoons soy sauce, and reduce the heat slightly to medium low. Mix well and continue to heat the garnish for 5 more minutes.

To make trout :
