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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups rice flour
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
2 cups white cornmeal
4 (8 to 10 ounces each) whole rainbow trout, scaled and gutted
6 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil
2 lemons
2 sticks unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
Sauteed Swiss Chard with Red Onion and Serrano Chile Vinegar, recipe follows
2 1/2 pounds Swiss chard
1/2 pound slab bacon, cut into small dice
2 medium red onions, halved and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup Serrano Chile Vinegar, recipe follows
4 serrano chiles, coarsely chopped
2 cups white wine vinegar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place rice flour in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mix eggs and milk in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place cornmeal in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Open up and cut the trout, diagonally, into 2 fillets. Season both the flesh and skin sides of the fillet with salt and pepper, to taste, and then dip each fillet into rice flour, then egg mixture, then cornmeal. Repeat with remaining trout.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet until almost smoking. Saute 4 fillets at a time until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining oil. Transfer to a large baking sheet and repeat with the remaining 2 trout. Place in the oven and bake for 5 to 6 minutes until just cooked through.
  • Zest and juice both lemons, separately reserving the zest and the juice. Set aside.
  • While the trout is baking, melt the butter in a nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Watching carefully and lowering the heat if necessary, allow the butter to foam and turn golden brown. Immediately add the lemon juice, zest and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • While the butter is still foaming, add the pecans and parsley. Do not allow the butter to burn or it will be unusable.
  • Place 2 fillets on each of 4 dinner plates and pour the Pecan-Brown Butter over the top. Serve alongside the Sauteed Swiss Chard with Red Onion and Serrano Chile Vinegar.
  • Tear Swiss chard leaves from thick white stalks, discard the stalks and coarsely chop leaves, set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and fat as rendered. Remove bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the onions and cook in the rendered fat until soft. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the Swiss chard, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat the leaves in the fat. Cook until the leaves have completely wilted. Add the bacon back to the pan. Add the vinegar and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Serve with additional vinegar on the side.
  • Bring chiles, vinegar, and a teaspoon of salt to a boil in a medium nonreactive saucepan. Remove from heat, pour into a bowl, cover and let steep for at least 2 hours or overnight at room temperature. Strain through a fine strainer into a bowl or glass jar.

BAKED TROUT WITH SPINACH-BUTTER SAUCE



Baked Trout with Spinach-Butter Sauce image

Provided by Darina Allen

Categories     Dairy     Fish     Leafy Green     Herb     Bake     Quick & Easy     Trout

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 rainbow trout, weighing 2 pounds each
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2-4 tablespoons butter
2 sprigs of fresh herb fennel
Spinach-butter sauce
1 cup spinach leaves
2/3 cups heavy cream
6 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375° F.
  • Clean the trout and wash well, making sure to remove the line of blood from the inside near the backbone. Dry with paper towels and season inside and out with salt and freshly ground pepper. Put a lump of butter and a sprig of fennel into the center of each trout. Take a large sheet of aluminum foil and smear a little butter on the center. Put the trout onto the buttered bit and fold over the edges into a papillote shape. Seal well to ensure that none of the juices can escape. Repeat with the other trout. Put the two foil parcels on a baking sheet, making sure they are not touching. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the spinach-butter sauce. Remove any large stems from the spinach and wash well. Cook in 2 1/2 cups salted boiling water for 4-5 minutes or until just soft and tender. Drain, pressing out every last drop of water, then mince the spinach. Put the cream into a saucepan and simmer on low heat until reduced to about 3 tablespoons. Then, on a very low heat, whisk in the butter bit by bit as though you were making a hollandaise sauce. Stir in the spinach.
  • When the fish is cooked, open the parcels and use some of the delicious juices to thin the sauce. Put the two parcels on a hot serving dish and bring to the table. Skin the fish and lift the juicy pink flesh onto hot plates. Spoon the spinach-butter sauce over the fish and eat immediately.

Tips for Cooking Swiss Baked Trout:

  • Choose the Right Trout: Select fresh, firm trout with bright eyes and red gills. If using frozen trout, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Prepare the Trout: Clean and gut the trout, removing the head, fins, and entrails. Rinse the trout thoroughly inside and out and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Season the Trout: Season the trout inside and out with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. You can also stuff the trout with a flavorful filling, such as lemon slices, fresh herbs, or a mixture of bread crumbs and butter.
  • Cook the Trout Properly: Preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe. Place the trout in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the trout until it is cooked through, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes for a whole trout. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the Trout: Serve the trout immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad. You can also garnish the trout with fresh herbs or lemon wedges.

Conclusion:

Swiss baked trout is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its delicate flavor and flaky texture, trout is a great choice for a healthy and satisfying meal. Whether you choose to bake the trout whole or in fillets, there are many ways to prepare this classic dish. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and fillings to create your own unique version of Swiss baked trout.
