PAN-FRIED TROUT

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
3 lemons, juiced and 1 lemon, zested and reserved
Kosher salt
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
4 (10 to 12-ounce) trout, boned, belly flap removed, rinsed and patted dry, heads and tails left on
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a wide flat dish, combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, zest of 1 lemon and salt, to taste.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and the juice of 1 lemon. Brush both sides of the trout with mustard mixture. Coat the fish on both sides with the seasoned bread crumbs and press firmly to adhere the crumbs to the fish.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Coat a large skillet with about 1/4 to 1/2-inch of olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Add the fish to the pan, skin side down, and cook the fish 2/3's of the way, about 6 to 7 minutes. Carefully turn the fish over and cook the other side until the fish is brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the fish from the pan and drain on paper towels. You will probably need to work in batches to do 4 fish. After the first batch is done and dried on paper towels reserve it on a rack in a warm oven.
  • When all the fish has been fried, remove the oil and any brown bits from the pan. Add the butter and remaining lemon juice and swirl to combine as the butter melts. Season with salt, to taste, and reduce by about half. Transfer the fish to a serving platter, drizzle with the butter lemon sauce and serve.
  • What a fishtale!

Pan-Fried Trout with Rosemary, Lemon and Capers image

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
4 pieces trout fillets
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pieces shallots, peeled and minced
1 cup white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon capers, drained

Steps:

  • Press 1/2 tsp rosemary into the flesh of each trout fillet. Combine flour, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste. Coat the fillets with the seasoned flour.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the trout and saute until cooked through, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the trout and place on warmed plates. Add the shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 15 seconds.
  • Pour in the wine and reduce to 1/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, capers and remaining rosemary and remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place 1 fillet on each of 4 plates, spoon the sauce over the trout and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • When choosing trout, look for fish that are firm to the touch and have clear eyes. Avoid fish that have a slimy or milky appearance.
  • Before cooking, pat the trout dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Season the trout liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to cook the trout. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the trout over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the trout immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:
