Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled butter
1 very large leek (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
1 carrot, peeled, cut into matchstick-size strips
4 trout, boned, butterflied
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
2 bay leaves, broken in half
1 cup Johannisberg Riesling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced leek and carrot strips; sauté until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Open fish flat and arrange skin side down in large roasting pan. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper and 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme. Top with leek and carrot mixture and bay leaves. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Pour Riesling over fish.
  • Bake fish until just opaque in center, about 15 minutes. Transfer fish and vegetables to plates. Tent with foil to keep warm. Pour pan juices into heavy medium saucepan. Boil until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 6 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter and 1/2 teaspoon thyme and whisk just until butter is melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over fish and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality Chardonnay wine. A good wine will contribute to the flavor of the dish, so it's worth spending a little extra on a bottle you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't overcook the trout. Trout is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully to avoid drying it out. A good rule of thumb is to cook it for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and parsley, can add a lot of flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Serve the trout immediately. Trout is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and flaky. If you need to keep it warm for a short period of time, you can place it in a warm oven or on a warm plate.

Conclusion:

Chardonnay trout is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The Chardonnay wine adds a subtle flavor to the trout, and the herbs and butter create a rich and flavorful sauce. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
