Blackened Trout With Escovitch Recipes

EASY BLACKENED TROUT

Steps:

• Combine all of the spices to create the blackening seasoning and set aside in a resealable jar.
• Pat dry your trout filets and season them generously with about 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning each, or more depending on the size of your filets.
• Heat up a large skillet over high heat with the olive oil.
• Once the pan is hot, add the trout flesh side down and sear for about 5-6 minutes.
• Flip the fish and cook on the skin side for another 3-4 minutes.
• Serve with your favorite side dish. Reserve remainder of blackening seasoning for future recipes.

BLACKENED TROUT WITH ESCOVITCH

Steps:

• Make the escovitch: Combine the vinegar, all-purpose seasoning, sugar, allspice, salt, thyme sprigs, garlic, lime juice and 1/3 cup water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Add the carrots, onion, bell peppers and Scotch bonnet and cook until the vegetables become slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. (Remove the Scotch bonnet before serving.)
• For the trout: Combine the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, thyme, onion powder, oregano and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Coat each piece of trout with the blackening seasoning. Heat half of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add two trout fillets to the skillet and cook until the fish is browned and flakes with a fork, about 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining butter and trout. Spoon the escovitch on top of each fish fillet before serving.
