PAN-FRIED TROUT WITH ROSEMARY, LEMON AND CAPERS



Pan-Fried Trout With Rosemary, Lemon and Capers image

This 1994 recipe gets Provencal flavors on the table in minutes. Fresh rosemary needles are pressed into the fillets, which are seasoned in flour and pan fried for a crisp exterior and flaky inside. A sauce built on shallots, white wine and lemon adds complexity. Pair it with a light vegetable like sautéed asparagus, or a bright arugula salad, and serve with some of that white wine for an easy, refreshing spring dinner.

PAN-FRIED TROUT



Pan-Fried Trout image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
3 lemons, juiced and 1 lemon, zested and reserved
Kosher salt
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
4 (10 to 12-ounce) trout, boned, belly flap removed, rinsed and patted dry, heads and tails left on
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a wide flat dish, combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, zest of 1 lemon and salt, to taste.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and the juice of 1 lemon. Brush both sides of the trout with mustard mixture. Coat the fish on both sides with the seasoned bread crumbs and press firmly to adhere the crumbs to the fish.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Coat a large skillet with about 1/4 to 1/2-inch of olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Add the fish to the pan, skin side down, and cook the fish 2/3's of the way, about 6 to 7 minutes. Carefully turn the fish over and cook the other side until the fish is brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the fish from the pan and drain on paper towels. You will probably need to work in batches to do 4 fish. After the first batch is done and dried on paper towels reserve it on a rack in a warm oven.
  • When all the fish has been fried, remove the oil and any brown bits from the pan. Add the butter and remaining lemon juice and swirl to combine as the butter melts. Season with salt, to taste, and reduce by about half. Transfer the fish to a serving platter, drizzle with the butter lemon sauce and serve.
  • What a fishtale!

TROUT WITH CAPER SAUCE



Trout with Caper Sauce image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds russet potato, skin left on, cut into 1/4-inch sticks
1 cup heavy cream, plus an additional 1/4 cup for reheating if necessary
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus an additional 2 tablespoons for reheating if necessary
Salt and white pepper
1/4 cup salt
2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch sticks
12 trout filets, deboned
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grape seed oil
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons grape seed oil
1/4 cup minced shallots
1/2 cup capers
1 cup lemon juice
1/2 pound unsalted butter, cut into cubes
Salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the mashed potatoes: Put the potatoes in a large pot with 2 gallons of cold water. Bring the water and potatoes to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender. Strain the potatoes and allow them to rest in the strainer over the sink for 5 to 10 minutes so they steam and dry out a bit. While the potatoes are draining combine the cream and butter in the pot and bring to a boil, melting the butter.
  • Put the potatoes back into the pot with the cream and the butter and whip with an electric hand mixer until the potatoes are smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm. (If the potatoes cool off, heat them in a pan with the additional 1/4 cup cream and 2 tablespoons butter just before plating.)
  • For the vegetables: Prepare a large bowl of ice water for shocking the vegetables after blanching. Bring 2 gallons of water to a rolling boil and add the salt.
  • Add half of the green beans to the boiling water and cook until tender but not over-cooked, about 3 minutes. Transfer the beans to the ice bath using a hand strainer. Allow the water to come back up to a rolling boil and repeat the process with the remainder of the green beans and then the carrots.
  • For the trout: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat a large skillet over high heat until smoking hot and reduce the heat to medium-high. Season the trout with salt and pepper, then dredge the skin side of the trout in the flour. Coat the skillet with grape seed oil.
  • Place the trout in the skillet skin-side down and sear until the skin is golden brown and the flesh begins to turn opaque. Gently flip the filets over and finish cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the trout to the prepared baking sheet and allow the cooked trout to rest for 5 minutes.
  • For the sauce: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until they just begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat a large saute pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the grape seed oil to the pan and then add the shallots and capers. Saute for 2 minutes.
  • Add the lemon juice and bring to a boil; cook until reduced by half. Take the pan off the heat and add the butter a little at a time, swirling the pan to emulsify the butter into the lemon juice. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper (be careful with the salt because the capers can be very salty already). Stir in the chopped parsley.
  • For plating: In a large saute pan over high heat add the carrots and green beans and enough water to create a thin layer in the pan. Allow the water to boil and once the beans and carrots are hot, season them with salt and pepper.
  • Place a scoop of the mashed potatoes in the center of each of 6 plates. Arrange two filets of trout on top, flesh-side up. Arrange the carrots and green beans leaning on the trout to one side.
  • Spoon 2 ounces of sauce onto each plate and sprinkle the toasted almond slices over the top of the fish. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Ensure your trout fillets are fresh and of good quality. Freshness is key to the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the trout. If you do, the fish won't cook evenly and may become soggy.
  • Season the trout fillets generously with salt and pepper before frying. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to fry the trout. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • Cook the trout fillets over medium heat until they are cooked through. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
  • Be careful not to overcook the trout, as this will make it tough and dry.
  • Serve the pan-fried trout immediately with the leek, almond, and caper sauce.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried trout with leeks, almonds, and capers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. This recipe is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal. The trout is cooked to perfection and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
