Best 5 Herbed Trout Fillets Recipes

TROUT WITH GARLIC LEMON BUTTER HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the top of fish fillets with Italian herb seasoning and salt (generously). Fish fillets will have skins on the bottom - no need to season the skins.
• In a large skillet (large enough to fit 2 fish fillets), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat until heated but not smoking. To the hot skillet with olive oil, add fish fillets skin side up - flesh side down. Cook the flesh side of the fish for about 3-5 minutes on medium heat, making sure the oil does not smoke, until lightly browned.
• Flip the fillets over to the other side, skin side down (add more oil, if needed). Cook for another 2-4 minutes on medium heat (to prevent oil from burning).
• Remove the skillet from heat, close with the lid, and let the fish sit for 5-10 minutes, covered, in the skillet, until flaky and cooked through completely.
• After the fish is cooked through, off heat, using spatula, carefully remove fillets to the plate, separating the fish from the skin. Carefully remove or scrape the fish skin off the bottom of the pan, making sure to leave all the cooking oils in the pan.
• Add diced garlic, lemon juice, and white wine to the same pan with oil. Cook on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens a bit. Remove from heat. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the sauce, stirring, until the butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
• Add fish to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, top the fish and sauce with the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley, and serve.

HERB-ROASTED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the fish fillet on a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle it with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the top of the fillet. Lay the thyme on top and place the olives next to the fillet.
• Beat the egg together with 1 tablespoon of water for an egg wash. Brush the egg wash around the edge of the parchment paper and fold it in half. Carefully fold the edge of the parchment paper under and around the fish to make a package. Place the package on a sheet pan and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through. Serve hot in the parchment paper.

BAKED TROUT FILLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Arrange trout fillets in a large baking dish.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green onion, parsley, and garlic until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and continue to cook until just softened, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add white wine, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Remove from heat and gently stir in artichoke hearts; pour mixture over trout.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Remove baking dish from oven and scatter tomatoes over fish.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Return baking dish to oven and broil until fish is browned, 1 to 2 minutes more.

SIMPLE HERB-BAKED TROUT & HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Lay the trout over a lightly oiled baking tray and stuff the fish cavity with slices of lemon and herbs. Season generously all over and drizzle with the remaining oil.
• Bake in the oven for 20 mins until the fish is cooked through - the eyes will have turned white and the flesh will be soft to touch. The trout can be served as they are with your favourite seasonal vegetables, but for an added extra touch, peel away the top layer of skin and grate over fresh horseradish before serving.

HERBED TROUT WITH LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels.
• On a cutting board, spread each fish open, skin side down.
• In a small bowl stir together melted butter and lemon juice. Set half of the butter mixture aside. Brush remaining half of the butter mixture over fish.
• In a small bowl stir together onion, rosemary, lemon peel, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle onion mixture over fish.
• Fold fish closed. Place fish on a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
• Bake in a 450 degree F oven for 15 minutes or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork.
• If desired, sprinkle fish with parsley. Serve fish with lemon wedges and reserved butter mixture.
