Steps:
- Bring enough vermouth or wine to rolling boil to cover trout halfway. Add trout and return to rolling boil. Turn off heat; cover pan and allow trout to cook in hot liquid 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from pan and cool. When cool enough to handle remove skin of the fish.
- Combine sour cream, horseradish and dill weed for dressing.
- Trout may be served cool or cold with sour cream dressing. Garnish with cucumber slices, if desired.
CRISPY TROUT WITH KITCHEN BUTTER SAUCE
Steps:
- If it's convenient, set the serving plates to warm in a low oven (175 degrees F) as you prepare the fish.
- For the sauce, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and thyme and cook them briefly until lightly browned. Add the cream, bring it to a boil and reduce quickly by half. Add the remaining 10 tablespoons butter gradually, pat by pat, whisking until incorporated. When the sauce is smooth and thick, discard the garlic and thyme and add the chives, sherry vinegar, tarragon and salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat two large cast-iron skillets over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper and dust the skin sides with the flour. When the pans are hot, add enough canola oil to thinly coat the bottom of each and add a fish to each pan, skin-side down. Cook until the skins turn golden brown and opaque doneness creeps into the pink flesh of the fish. You want to cook the fish nearly all the way through on the skin side. Flip the fish and transfer them to a plate to keep warm in the oven. Cook the remaining fish.
- Pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of sauce onto each warm plate, top with a trout, skin side pointing up, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- To make the fish cream sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken stock, fish stock, mussels, white wine, mushrooms, peppercorns, parsley, and chervil stalk together. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium high heat and reduce until about 3/4 of the liquid remains Remove the mussel shells and mussels. Add the cream and reduce further by half. Keep warm.
- To make the poached turbot: In a medium pot of boiling water, cook 8-ounces of the fresh peas until almost overcooked. Drain well and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a food processor and puree.
- Cut the iceberg lettuce into fine strips or shreds. Boil the remaining peas and when just cooked, remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter on medium-low heat. Add the shallots and garlic and sweat them, about 4 minutes. Then add the whole and pureed peas and iceberg lettuce, cook until lettuce has wilted. Season with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
- In a large wide saucepan, combine the wine and chicken stock together. Bring up to a mild simmer on low heat. Add the turbot and lightly poach. When almost cooked, about 8 minutes, add the langoustines and cook for an additional for 2 minutes. Remove the fish and langoustines, and keep warm.
- In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on medium-high heat. Add the giroles and cook until soft. Drain well and set aside.
- Combine the reserved fish cream, horseradish cream, cayenne, and lemon juice. Finish with a spoon of whipped cream and using a hand blender, mix well together.
- To serve, place a large spoonful of the pea puree in the center of the plate and decorate with 5 pieces of buttered asparagus around the plate. Sprinkle with giroles. Place the turbot on top of the puree and 2 pieces of langoustines on top of the fish. Spoon some of horseradish cream sauce on top and garnish with sliced truffles and parsley.
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.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest trout you can find. Look for fish that has bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild odor.
- To ensure the trout is cooked evenly, use a thermometer to check the internal temperature. The fish is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a thermometer, you can check the doneness of the fish by gently flaking it with a fork. When the fish is cooked, it will flake easily.
- Be careful not to overcook the fish, as this will make it dry and tough.
- If you are using a poaching liquid with a strong flavor, such as vinegar or wine, be sure to dilute it with water before adding the fish. This will help to prevent the fish from becoming too acidic.
- To make the horseradish sauce, use fresh horseradish root. This will give the sauce a more pungent flavor.
- If you don't have fresh horseradish root, you can use prepared horseradish sauce. However, be sure to choose a sauce that is not too spicy.
- Serve the cold poached trout with the horseradish sauce and your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Cold poached trout is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The fish is cooked gently in a flavorful poaching liquid, which helps to preserve its delicate flavor and texture. The horseradish sauce adds a zesty kick to the dish, and the trout can be served with a variety of sides. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, cold poached trout is a great recipe for both beginner and experienced cooks.
