Trout meuniere is typically made with whole trout, but fillets can also be used. The fish is dredged in flour, then pan-fried in butter until golden brown. The sauce is made with white wine, lemon juice, and capers, and it is poured over the fish before serving. Trout meuniere is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
Dash Tabasco
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
4 brook trout (about 1/2 pound each when cleaned), bones removed but with heads left on
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons flour for dredging
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 slices lemon
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Place the shrimp, cream, ginger, shallots, Tabasco, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth and thick. This should take 30 to 40 seconds.
  • Open the trout, divide the stuffing into four equal portions, and spread the mixture evenly on one side of the open trout. Fold over the other side to enclose the stuffing.
  • Pour the milk onto a shallow platter, and mix the flour with salt and pepper in a flat dish. Dip each trout in the milk, shaking off any excess, and dredge each in the flour mixture, patting it to be sure the flour adheres.
  • Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the trout in one layer without crowding. Add the trout, and brown thoroughly on one side. Then turn the trout with a spatula, and brown the other side. The process should take about 4 minutes per side. While the fish are browning on the second side, baste the tops with hot oil from the pan to prevent the trout from drying out. When the fish are done, transfer them to a warm platter, and keep warm.
  • Wipe out the pan with a paper towel, and return it to medium heat. Melt the butter, and cook until it is hazelnut in color. Stir in the lemon juice. Pour the butter mixture in equal portions over the trout. Garnish with the lemon slices, and sprinkle the parsley over all. Serve hot.

Categories     Fish     Sauté     Dinner

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 15

For Trout:
3 cups sliced almonds
2 large eggs
1 pint whole milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 (7- to 8-ounce) speckled trout fillets
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 gallon vegetable oil
Meuniere sauce (recipe below)
3 medium lemons cut into wedges
For Sauce:
1 pound salted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Yields 2 cups.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 F. Place almonds on a baking sheet and toast in oven for 15 to 20 minutes, opening oven to stir almonds every 5 minutes while they cook. When they become a light golden brown, remove from oven and set aside. Make a wash by whisking together eggs and milk in shallow bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Season fillets with salt and pepper, to taste, and dust with flour. Submerge floured fillets in egg wash. Gently remove fillets from egg wash and allow excess to drip off. Put fillets back into flour, and then gently shake off excess flour. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil to 350 F. Test readiness of oil by sprinkling a pinch of flour over it. Flour will brown instantly when oil has reached correct temperature. Add trout and fry for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove fish when crust is golden brown. Top each fillet with almonds and warmed meuniere sauce (recipe below). Garnish with lemon wedges. Sauce: In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, whisking constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes, until sediment in butter turns dark brown, almost (but not quite) to the point of burning, and liquid is deep golden color. Remove pan from heat and continue to whisk slowly, adding lemon juice and vinegar to browned butter. Sauce will froth until acids have evaporated. When frothing subsides, sauce is complete.
