Trout with Fiddlehead Ferns image

This is an older recipe for fiddleheads passed down to me by my grandmother. Fresh trout is stuffed with a fresh fiddlehead stuffing, and then quickly roasted in the oven. The trout used for this recipe is about 12 ounces. Recipe can easily be adjusted for larger or more fish.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 whole trout, cleaned
2 tablespoons margarine, divided
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces fiddleheads, chopped
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup dry white wine
½ cup dry bread crumbs
1 beaten egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Spread about half of the margarine over the whole trout and inside the cavity. Combine the flour, salt and pepper; coat the inside and outside of the trout with the mixture.
  • Melt remaining margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly saute the fiddleheads until just tender. Season with salt, pepper and tarragon. Add the lemon juice and white wine, and cook for one minute. Transfer the contents of the fiddlehead pan to a bowl, and mix with egg and bread crumbs. Stuff the mixture into the cavity of the trout, and place it on the greased baking sheet.
  • Bake uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.

I'm not a fan of fiddlehead ferns, so I substituted asparagus in this recipe. It turned out great! The trout was cooked perfectly and the asparagus was tender and flavorful. The lemon butter sauce was the perfect finishing touch.

I followed the recipe exactly and the trout came out overcooked. The fiddlehead ferns were also a bit too chewy. I think I'll try this recipe again, but I'll adjust the cooking times.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, or maybe a different sauce. The trout was cooked well, but the fiddlehead ferns were a bit tough.
