PANFRIED TROUT WITH LEMON



Panfried Trout with Lemon image

You'll only taste wild trout if you catch them yourself-all others are farm raised. Wherever you get it, trout that you panfry with lemon will be a delicious dinner to serve your guests, fishermen or not.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium brook trout, gutted and cleaned, about 9 or 10 ounces each
3 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 lemons, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
4 1/2 teaspoons butter
4 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
4 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • Rinse trout, and pat dry. Combine 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and flour on a plate. Season insides of fish with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Insert 3 slices of lemon inside each fish, and dredge in flour; shake off excess.
  • Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil in an 11-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 trout, arrange 4 or 5 lemon slices around fish, and cook until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. If lemon slices begin to burn, put them on top of fish. Turn fish, and cook until it has a golden crust and is flaky and moist, about 5 to 6 minutes more.
  • Remove fish from skillet, and keep warm wrapped in foil. Repeat twice with remaining trout, butter, oils, and lemon slices. Serve fish with some of the cooked lemon slices.

PAN-FRIED TROUT



Pan-Fried Trout image

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



Pan-Fried Trout With Rosemary, Lemon and Capers image

This 1994 recipe gets Provencal flavors on the table in minutes. Fresh rosemary needles are pressed into the fillets, which are seasoned in flour and pan fried for a crisp exterior and flaky inside. A sauce built on shallots, white wine and lemon adds complexity. Pair it with a light vegetable like sautéed asparagus, or a bright arugula salad, and serve with some of that white wine for an easy, refreshing spring dinner.

Provided by fallon425

Categories     Seafood     Fish

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons lemon pepper
1 ½ tablespoons salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ cup grated lemon zest, divided
4 (6 ounce) fillets rainbow trout
1 lemon
½ cup lemon juice
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, lemon pepper, salt, thyme, cayenne and half of the lemon zest. Combine the lemon juice and remaining lemon zest in a shallow dish and soak fish fillets for about 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Choose the right trout: Select fresh, firm trout with bright eyes and red gills. Avoid fish that has a slimy or dull appearance.
  • Clean the trout properly: Remove the scales, fins, and entrails from the trout. Rinse the fish thoroughly inside and out with cold water.
  • Season the trout generously: Sprinkle the trout with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings inside and out. This will help enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: This will help prevent the trout from sticking to the pan and breaking apart.
  • Cook the trout over medium heat: Cooking the trout over too high heat will cause it to overcook and become dry. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle sizzle.
  • Flip the trout carefully: Use a spatula to gently flip the trout halfway through cooking. Avoid moving the fish too much in the pan, as this can cause it to break apart.
  • Cook the trout until it is opaque and flakes easily: The trout is done cooking when it is no longer translucent and flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Conclusion:

Panfried trout with lemon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The trout is cooked until it is tender and flaky, and the lemon butter sauce adds a bright and tangy flavor. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
