GRILLED TROUT FLORENTINE



Grilled Trout Florentine image

I got this recipe at elk camp north of Bayfield, Colorado more years ago than I care to remember.While us 'manly types' were hunting, Gus, our camp cook spent his spare time fishing. He never ceased to amaze me with the things he hauled out the drawers and bins of his chuck trailer. In the middle of nowhere he had fresh spinach to make this wonderful dish. Until then the only way I'd had trout was breaded and pan fried. This was the start of my lessons in some of the better ways to prepare trout. The lessons haven't stopped since then, thank you very much.

Baked Cod Fish Fillets Florentine-Style image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Gruyere or Cheddar cheese
pinch cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 pound fresh spinach
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
4 6-ounce skinless and boneless codfish fillets
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Blend well and add the milk and cream, stirring. When thickened and smooth remove from the heat and add the cheese, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper, and blend well. Add the egg, stirring rapidly. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Cut away and discard any tough blemishes on the spinach leaves. Rinse well and drain.
  • Place spinach in a skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula. When spinach is wilted, in about 3 minutes, transfer it to a colander and drain, pressing with the back of the spatula to extract liquid. Set aside.
  • With 1 tablespoon butter, grease a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in one layer. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the shallots over the bottom. Add the fish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the wine. Bring to a boil on top of the stove, then place in the oven. Bake 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in a skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon shallots, and the spinach, salt and pepper. Cook and stir for one minute, no longer. Smooth the spinach over the bottom of an oval baking dish. Carefully place the baked codfish pieces over the spinach. Cover and keep warm.
  • Pour the wine liquid from the baking dish into a saucepan. Reduce it quickly by half. Add this to the cheese sauce and stir. Bring to a boil.
  • Spoon the hot sauce evenly over the fish. Sprinkle with cheese and bake, uncovered, until bubbling and the fish is nicely browned on top.

FISH FLORENTINE



Fish Florentine image

Legend has it that when Catherine de Medici of Florence was wed to Henry of Aragon, she brought a Florentine chef with her to prepare the foods she adored. The Florentine style of cooking leans toward simple preparations of fresh foods to make consistently appealing meals. Traditionally, this dish uses a flaky white fish such as sole, cod, or halibut, but it does wonders for a salmon fillet or even orange roughy. Pack as much spinach as possible into the pot as it will cook down significantly Don't be afraid to push down the leaves with the heel of your hand. Just be sure that the seal around the lid is tight when the pot goes in the oven.

Yield serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

Olive oil spray
2 packed cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
1/2 to 3/4 pound fish fillets (sole, cod, halibut, salmon, etc.)
1 lemon, 1/2 thinly sliced, 1/2 cut into wedges
3 to 6 garlic cloves, sliced
2 or 3 tomatoes, thickly sliced
Grated Parmesan cheese, optional
Bread crumbs, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.
  • Line the bottom of the pot with about half the spinach. Add the fish and spray lightly with olive oil. Cover with a single layer of lemon slices and garlic.
  • Layer the remaining spinach and arrange the tomato slices on top, leaving just enough room for the lid to fit securely. If desired, sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs.
  • Cover and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately with the lemon wedges and, if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan

Tips:

  • Season the fish well: Before cooking, season the trout with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the fish gently: Trout is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently to prevent it from overcooking. The best way to do this is to pan-fry or bake the fish at a low temperature.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, and thyme, can add a lot of flavor to trout. Use them to garnish the fish before serving.
  • Serve with a simple sauce: A simple sauce, such as a lemon-butter sauce or a white wine sauce, can help to enhance the flavor of the trout. You can also serve the fish with a side of vegetables or rice.
