RAINBOW TROUT BAKED IN FOIL WITH TOMATOES, GARLIC AND THYME



Rainbow Trout Baked in Foil With Tomatoes, Garlic and Thyme image

My friend Christine always makes salmon prepared this way when I arrive at her home in Provence after my long trip from California. It's a great dish to make when you don't know exactly when guests are going to arrive, as everything can be prepared in advance and the fish can be baked at the last minute. I've adapted Christine's salmon recipe to rainbow trout, which are farmed in a sustainable way and less expensive than wild salmon.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Extra virgin olive oil for the foil
4 small rainbow trout, boned
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound ripe tomatoes in season, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme
Chopped fresh parsley or thyme for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, or 8 sheets of lighter foil, into squares that are 3 inches longer than your fish. If using lighter foil, make 4 double-thick squares. Oil the dull side of the foil with olive oil and place a trout, skin side down, on each square. Season both sides with salt and pepper and open them out flat.
  • In a bowl combine the tomatoes, garlic, 1 teaspoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon over the middle of each trout. Place 1 or 2 sprigs of thyme on top, and fold the two sides of the trout together. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each fish.
  • Making sure that the trout are in the middle of each square, fold the foil up loosely, grab at the edges and crimp together tightly to make a packet. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, checking one of the packets after 10 minutes. The flesh should be opaque and pull apart easily when tested with a fork.
  • Place each packet on a plate. Carefully cut across the top to open it, taking care not to let the steam from inside the packet burn you. Gently remove the fish from the packet and pour the juices over. Sprinkle with parsley or thyme and serve, passing the lemon wedges.

BAKED FRESH RAINBOW TROUT



Baked Fresh Rainbow Trout image

Very easy and tasty recipe I invented one day with ingredients on hand, for fresh rainbow trout (farmed or wild) that my family loves. It takes very little time and is much lighter than ocean fish. I use whole fish you can buy already gutted from the supermarket, with heads and tails still on. Make sure you pick trout that are really, really fresh. I find the dish doesn't even need lemon slices but you can use them if you like. The key is to remember to add the water to the dish as instructed in directions, which keeps fish from drying out. Serve with rice and veggies. Light and delicious. Be careful of bones! Make sure to add hot water to the dish; cold water can crack the baking dish.

WHOLE RAINBOW TROUT BAKED IN FOIL



Whole Rainbow Trout Baked in Foil image

It's easy to find farmed rainbow trout these days. They're usually boned and "butterflied" - opened up, with the halves still attached. I bake them in foil packets and moisten them with the savory juice that accumulates inside as they bake.

Time 15m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 7

Extra virgin olive oil
4 small rainbow trout, boned
Salt
freshly ground pepper
2 lemons, one sliced, one cut in wedges
8 fresh tarragon or dill sprigs, or 4 rosemary sprigs
Chopped fresh tarragon, dill or parsley for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut four sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil or eight sheets of lighter foil into squares that are three inches longer than your fish. If using lighter foil, make four double-thick squares. Oil the dull side of the foil with olive oil, and place a trout, skin side down, on each square. Season both sides with salt and pepper, and open them out flat. Place two tarragon or dill sprigs (or one rosemary sprig) and two lemon slices down the middle of each, and fold the two sides together. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each fish.
  • Making sure that the trout are in the middle of each square, fold up the foil loosely, grabbing at the edges and crimping together tightly to make a packet. Place on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, checking one of the packets after 10 minutes. The flesh should be opaque and pull apart easily when tested with a fork.
  • Place each packet on a plate. Carefully cut across the top to open it, taking care not to let the steam from inside the packet burn you. Gently remove the fish from the packet, and pour the juices over it. Sprinkle with fresh tarragon, dill or parsley. Serve, passing the lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, preheat your oven to the right temperature before placing the foil packet inside.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If they're not in season, you can also use canned diced tomatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the foil packet. If you're using a large trout, you may need to use two foil packets.
  • Be careful not to overcook the trout. It should be cooked through but still moist. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  • Serve the trout immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
