Categories     dinner, weekday, sauces and gravies, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 trout, about 1/2 pound each, cleaned weight
2 tablespoons milk
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 large mushrooms, about 1/4 pound
2 fresh limes
1/4 cup flour
1/3 cup corn, peanut or vegetable oil
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Put the trout in a dish and add the milk, salt and pepper. Turn the fish in the milk to coat well. Set aside.
  • Cut the mushrooms into thin slices. There should be about two cups.
  • Peel the limes. Cut the flesh from the white pulpy sections to make wedges. Set aside.
  • Remove the fish from the milk without patting it dry. Dip the fish in the flour to coat on all sides. Shake off the excess.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the fish in one layer. Add the fish and cook over moderately high heat 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown on one side. Turn and cook on the second side, basting often, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the fish to a hot serving platter.
  • Meanwhile, heat one tablespoon of the butter in a skillet and add the mushroom slices. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring, until mushrooms wilt. Cook until the liquid evaporates. Continue cooking until browned, about three minutes in all.
  • Arrange the mushroom slices neatly over the trout. Arrange the lime slices symmetrically between the mushroom slices. Sprinkle any accumulated lime juice over the trout.
  • Heat the remaining three tablespoons butter in a skillet until it melts. Continue cooking until the butter is lightly browned. Pour this over the trout. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

RAINBOW TROUT BAKED IN FOIL WITH TOMATOES, GARLIC AND THYME



Rainbow Trout Baked in Foil With Tomatoes, Garlic and Thyme image

My friend Christine always makes salmon prepared this way when I arrive at her home in Provence after my long trip from California. It's a great dish to make when you don't know exactly when guests are going to arrive, as everything can be prepared in advance and the fish can be baked at the last minute. I've adapted Christine's salmon recipe to rainbow trout, which are farmed in a sustainable way and less expensive than wild salmon.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Extra virgin olive oil for the foil
4 small rainbow trout, boned
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound ripe tomatoes in season, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme
Chopped fresh parsley or thyme for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, or 8 sheets of lighter foil, into squares that are 3 inches longer than your fish. If using lighter foil, make 4 double-thick squares. Oil the dull side of the foil with olive oil and place a trout, skin side down, on each square. Season both sides with salt and pepper and open them out flat.
  • In a bowl combine the tomatoes, garlic, 1 teaspoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon over the middle of each trout. Place 1 or 2 sprigs of thyme on top, and fold the two sides of the trout together. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each fish.
  • Making sure that the trout are in the middle of each square, fold the foil up loosely, grab at the edges and crimp together tightly to make a packet. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, checking one of the packets after 10 minutes. The flesh should be opaque and pull apart easily when tested with a fork.
  • Place each packet on a plate. Carefully cut across the top to open it, taking care not to let the steam from inside the packet burn you. Gently remove the fish from the packet and pour the juices over. Sprinkle with parsley or thyme and serve, passing the lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest trout possible: Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, fresh smell. Avoid fish that appears dull or slimy.
  • Properly clean and gut the trout before cooking: Remove the scales, fins, and entrails. Rinse the trout inside and out with cold water.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Trout can be grilled, pan-fried, baked, or poached. Each method yields a different flavor and texture.
  • Season the trout generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
  • Don't overcook the trout: Trout is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the trout immediately: Trout is best served fresh out of the oven or off the grill. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, lemon or lime wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Trout is a versatile and delicious fish that can be prepared in a variety of ways. With its mild flavor and firm texture, trout is a great choice for both casual and formal meals. Whether you're grilling it, pan-frying it, baking it, or poaching it, trout is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful fish dish, give trout a try.
