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.

RAINBOW TROUT POACHED IN COCONUT MILK

This is a South East Asian inspired dish. You can use other types of fish besides trout but I think it works best this way. I've used cod before for this. The flavours merge wonderfully in the coconut milk... Very nice with sticky rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right trout: Select fresh, firm trout with bright eyes and red gills. Avoid fish with a slimy or discoloured coating.
  • Prepare the trout: Clean and gut the trout, removing any scales and fins. Rinse the fish thoroughly under cold water.
  • Use a flavorful poaching liquid: The poaching liquid should be flavorful and aromatic. Common ingredients include white wine, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
  • Gently poach the trout: Bring the poaching liquid to a gentle simmer and carefully place the trout fillets in the liquid. Avoid boiling the liquid, as this will toughen the fish.
  • Cook the trout until it is just cooked through: The trout is cooked when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking, as this will dry out the fish.
  • Serve the trout immediately: Poached trout is best served immediately, while it is still hot and flaky. It can be served with a variety of sauces, such as lemon butter sauce, tartar sauce, or hollandaise sauce.
