Baked Trout With Lemon Sauce Recipes

BAKED HONEY LEMON STEELHEAD TROUT

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.
• Place the trout in a large baking dish or a plastic container, or a large Ziploc bag. Cover the fish with the sauce and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour, and up to 4 hours for best results.
• Preheat the oven to 450F.
• Transfer the trout, with the sauce, into a foil boat, place on a baking sheet and bake at 450F for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish is tender and flakes easily. Do not overcook. If you start seeing albumin (white fish proteins) coming out, that's a good indication that the fish has entered into over-cooked territory and needs to be pulled out immediately.
• For better browning, place the rack in the second position from the top. You can also turn on the broiler on high about 12 minutes into baking to achieve even better browning. If the fish is browning too much before it is done, turn off the broiler and move the baking sheet down a couple of positions.
• Serve with roasted vegetables, salad or rice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Juice 1/2 the lemon and cut the other half into 6 thin slices. Place slices in 3 columns of 2 into the prepared baking dish.
• Season trout with salt and pepper. Place each fillet, skin-side down, over 2 of the lemon slices in the baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until trout flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add Dijon mustard; stir. Add the lemon juice, marjoram, and tarragon. Cook and stir until flavors meld, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add sour cream and capers. Stir until sauce is smooth but capers are not yet cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Reduce heat to low and let sauce sit until trout is baked.
• Place each piece of trout on a plate and garnish with the lemon slices. Pour sauce evenly on top. Sprinkle lemon zest and parsley over the sauce.

LEMON CREAM SAUCE FOR TROUT

• Turn on broiler and place rack in top position.
• Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then brush both sides of fillets with olive oil, place skin-side down and sprinkle with Italian herb mix, paprika, and a bit of salt.
• Place in oven and cook for about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat wine, lemon juice, and shallots in a small pan over medium-high heat.
• Reduce wine to about a tablespoon, add cream and continue cooking over medium-high heat for about a minute.
• Remove from heat and stir in butter, capers, salt, and white pepper. Once trout is plated, pour sauce over fillets.
• Optional Sides: Preheat oven to 200 F. Keep trout covered and warm in the oven. In a small or medium frying pan, add a couple of tablespoons of water. Bring to a boil and toss in the julienned carrots. Boil for about a minute, remove and place covered into the warm oven. Remove excess moisture from pan, set flame to medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add potato wedges and fry on both sides until crispy. Season with salt and pepper while cooking, for a bit of heat mix in a dash of smoked paprika. Once cooked remove to a paper towel-lined plate to let the excess oil soak off. Keep in the warmed oven until ready to assemble. Wipe out the pan, place over medium-high heat, add remaining butter. Once melted add the fennel and cook for about a minute. Next, combine the peas and cream with the fennel. Cook till peas are softened but not mushy, about three minutes.
• To Assemble: Place potatoes down first, spooning the peas over potatoes and now gently lay the trout on top of the bed of peas. Stack the julienned carrots on the trout. Pour the lemon cream sauce over the dish and for an extra touch add some toasted almond slices.

• Place the trout on the aluminum foil. The skin side should face the foil.
• Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the trout. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Slice the lemon into thin rounds and cover the fish with lemon slices, then the fresh sprigs of parsley.

• Bake the trout for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of your fillet.
• After 10 minutes, take the baking sheet out and check the fish. Use a fork to gently prod the flesh in the thickest part of the fillet. It should be tender and flake easily when it is done cooking.

• Serve your trout by opening up the foil packet at the table and wowing your guests.

STEELHEAD TROUT RECIPE WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the tops of steelhead trout fillets with Italian herb seasoning and salt (generously). Fish fillets will have skins on the bottom.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat until hot but not smoking. (Note: 1 tablespoon of olive oil is enough as fish will release lots of its own oil - steelhead trout is a fatty kind of fish).
• Add steelhead trout fillets, skin side up, non-skin side down. Cook for about 2 minutes on medium heat, making sure the oil does not smoke.
• Turn the fillets over, skin side down. Cook for another 2 minutes on medium-low heat (keeping oil from burning).
• Remove from heat, close the pan with the lid, and let the trout sit for 5-10 minutes until flaky and cooked through completely.
• After the fish is cooked through, using a spatula, carefully remove trout fillets to the plate, separating the fillet from the skin (skin will remain on the bottom of the pan). Carefully scrape the fish skin off the bottom of the pan, making sure to leave the fish oil in the pan.
• Add capers, diced garlic, and lemon juice to the same skillet with oil in which you just cooked the trout.
• Cook the sauce on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens a bit. Remove from heat.
• Add 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the lemon caper sauce, stirring, until the butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
• Add cooked steelhead trout fillets back to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, and serve.
