POACHED TROUT

Whole fish (such as this butterflied trout or pink-fleshed arctic char) are as easy to poach as fillets. This recipe works with almost any variety. Serve chilled over greens with horseradish for lunch. For dinner, serve warm with pureed vegetables on the side.

RAINBOW TROUT POACHED IN COCONUT MILK



Rainbow Trout Poached in Coconut Milk image

This is a South East Asian inspired dish. You can use other types of fish besides trout but I think it works best this way. I've used cod before for this. The flavours merge wonderfully in the coconut milk... Very nice with sticky rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Trout: Opt for fresh or frozen trout fillets or steaks that are firm and have a mild, slightly briny smell.
  • Proper Cleaning: Before cooking, rinse the trout fillets or steaks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Seasoning: Generously season the trout with salt and pepper, both inside and out. You can also add other seasonings like herbs, spices, or citrus zest to enhance the flavor.
  • Gentle Poaching: Bring the poaching liquid (court-bouillon or water) to a gentle simmer before adding the trout. Avoid boiling, as this can overcook the fish and make it tough.
  • Cooking Time: The cooking time for poached trout depends on the thickness of the fillets or steaks. Generally, thinner pieces take about 5-7 minutes, while thicker ones may require 8-10 minutes.
  • Don't Overcook: Keep an eye on the trout while it's poaching. Overcooking can make the fish dry and flaky. It's better to slightly undercook it and remove it from the heat when it's just opaque in the center.
  • Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the trout from the poaching liquid and transfer it to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or chives, and serve immediately, accompanied by your favorite sides like steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a tangy sauce.
