CRISPY TROUT WITH KITCHEN BUTTER SAUCE



Crispy Trout with Kitchen Butter Sauce image

Provided by Amy Thielen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon plus 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pats
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 teaspoons sherry or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 rainbow trout (about 3/4 pound each), butterflied and backbone removed
Instant flour, such as Wondra, or cake flour, for dusting fish
Canola oil, for coating pans

Steps:

  • If it's convenient, set the serving plates to warm in a low oven (175 degrees F) as you prepare the fish.
  • For the sauce, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and thyme and cook them briefly until lightly browned. Add the cream, bring it to a boil and reduce quickly by half. Add the remaining 10 tablespoons butter gradually, pat by pat, whisking until incorporated. When the sauce is smooth and thick, discard the garlic and thyme and add the chives, sherry vinegar, tarragon and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat two large cast-iron skillets over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper and dust the skin sides with the flour. When the pans are hot, add enough canola oil to thinly coat the bottom of each and add a fish to each pan, skin-side down. Cook until the skins turn golden brown and opaque doneness creeps into the pink flesh of the fish. You want to cook the fish nearly all the way through on the skin side. Flip the fish and transfer them to a plate to keep warm in the oven. Cook the remaining fish.
  • Pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of sauce onto each warm plate, top with a trout, skin side pointing up, and serve immediately.

BAKED FRESH RAINBOW TROUT



Baked Fresh Rainbow Trout image

Very easy and tasty recipe I invented one day with ingredients on hand, for fresh rainbow trout (farmed or wild) that my family loves. It takes very little time and is much lighter than ocean fish. I use whole fish you can buy already gutted from the supermarket, with heads and tails still on. Make sure you pick trout that are really, really fresh. I find the dish doesn't even need lemon slices but you can use them if you like. The key is to remember to add the water to the dish as instructed in directions, which keeps fish from drying out. Serve with rice and veggies. Light and delicious. Be careful of bones! Make sure to add hot water to the dish; cold water can crack the baking dish.

CRISPY COLORADO TROUT



Crispy Colorado Trout image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 22

One 8-ounce fresh Colorado trout, cleaned and separated into fillets
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Panko bread crumbs
Olive oil, for sauteing trout
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon roasted garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
2 whole scallions, cleaned and chopped
Chevre Orzo, recipe follows
1 pound orzo
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 to 1/2 pound chevre
1/2 cup peeled, seeded, and diced tomatoes
8 to 10 basil leaves cut into a chiffonade
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 green onions, sliced thinly on the bias

Steps:

  • Preparing Trout: After de-boning, finning, cleaning, and filleting fish, rinse and pat dry. Combine egg and milk in a shallow dish to make an egg wash. Dredge trout in seasoned flour shaking off excess. Dip into egg wash mixture, and then into panko crumbs, turning to coat both sides and patting lightly. Remove fillets and place separately onto platter. Use waxed paper to keep fish from touching. Preparing Aioli Sauce: Place all ingredients into blender except for olive oil, and puree. Add a little water to loosen, if needed. Once you have reached the puree stage, slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream. This will cause the ingredients to emulsify. Set aside. Cooking Trout: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a heavy saute pan, coat bottom with 1/8-inch of oil. Heat pan and oil to medium heat. Add fillet skin side up and cook for about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn fillet over and cook until golden brown on the other side. Remove from heat and place on paper towels in baking dish.
  • Place fillets in preheated oven for 6 to 7 minutes. Arrange on plates and drizzle with sauce making thin ribbons across the fillets.
  • Serve with Chevre Orzo.
  • Cook orzo in salted boiling water to just under done. Drain and keep warm.
  • Heat the cream, add remaining ingredients, and toss with the pasta. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Trout: Select firm and brightly colored trout fillets. Check for a mild, fresh scent, and avoid any fish with a strong, fishy odor.
  • Properly Clean the Trout: Rinse the trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove any bones or scales if necessary.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the trout well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a classic flavor profile.
  • Use Quality Olive Oil: Opt for extra virgin olive oil for its superior flavor and health benefits. Drizzle it over the trout fillets to help them crisp up in the oven.
  • Achieve Crispy Skin: To get crispy skin, make sure the trout fillets are dry before baking. Pat them dry with paper towels if needed.
  • Cook at High Temperature: Bake the trout fillets at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for a short period. This will help the skin crisp up while keeping the flesh tender and moist.
  • Monitor Cooking Time: Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the trout fillets. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Insert it into the thickest part of the fillet; it should read an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Garnish and Serve Immediately: Once cooked, remove the trout fillets from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or lemon wedges. Serve immediately while the fish is hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

Crispy oven-baked trout is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following these tips, you can achieve perfectly cooked trout with crispy skin and tender, flaky flesh. Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and herbs to create your own unique flavor combinations.
