Best 4 Smoked Trout Hash With Tomatillo Salsa Recipes

SMOKED TROUT HASH WITH TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• At least 4 hours or up to a day before serving, put potatoes into boiling water to cover and boil until just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool completely, at least 3 hours or overnight.
• To make salsa: Mix tomatillos, arbol chili, onion, garlic, cilantro, spinach, jalapeño and half the salt in a blender until smooth. Taste and add more salt if desired. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Heat oven to 200 degrees. Grate cooled potatoes on the large holes of a box grater. Combine in a large bowl with cheese, chives, pepper and remaining salt, tossing together gently with hands.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet, add potato mixture and distribute evenly in pan, pressing down lightly. Cook, undisturbed, 4 to 5 minutes, until brown on the bottom. With a large spatula, gently turn mixture over (don't worry if it breaks) and redistribute in pan. Cook 4 minutes, until well crisped. (Do this in 2 batches if pan is not large enough.) Transfer to a serving bowl and keep warm. (To make individual potato cakes, use a 7-inch skillet and cook 4 cakes, one at a time.)
• In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat, add trout pieces and cook, stirring, to heat through. Scatter over potato mixture, garnish with cilantro and serve with eggs on top and salsa on side.

FISH TACOS WITH ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place in the oven until soft and pliant, about 12 minutes. Remove and keep wrapped until ready to use.
• In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350 degrees F over high heat.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg with the milk and water. Add the flour, Essence, and baking powder, and whisk to make a thin batter. Dip the fish in the batter, turning to coat, and shake to remove any excess. Fry in batches in the oil until golden and crisp, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove, drain on paper towels, and season lightly with the Essence. In a large bowl, mix the cabbage with the sour cream, lime juice and cumin, tossing to coat.
• To serve, place 1 or 2 pieces of the fish inside each tortilla and top with some of the shredded cabbage. Squeeze with lime juice, and top with salsa to taste. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the tomatillos, garlic and onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast the vegetables in the oven until browned and softened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the oven and place the tomatillos and onion in a food processor. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their peels into the food processor. Add the jalapeno, juice of 1 lemon and lime to the vegetables. Pulse until the mixture is fully incorporated but not pureed. Season the salsa with salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside.
