Grilled Steelhead Trout Fillets With Lavender Butter Recipes

GRILLED STEELHEAD TROUT WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine softened butter, garlic and herbs in a small food processor. Be careful not to run the food processor too long as it will cause the butter to heat up and melt.
• Roll the mixed butter into a log in a square of clear plastic wrap
• Place in refrigerator to allow to harden
• Bring the grill to 350 degrees on direct heat
• Apply olive oil to both sides of the steelhead along with a light coating of salt and pepper, to taste
• Place it skin side down on the grill. Grill for 15 minutes.
• Flip and cook for an additional 8-12 minutes. Make sure to check the thickest parts of the fish for an internal temperature of 145 degrees. It should be flaky with a fork.
• Using two larg spatulas, lift it from the grill and place it on a sheet pan
• Add 4-5 pats of chilled butter and allow to melt over the hot steelhead

GRILLED STEELHEAD TROUT FILLETS WITH LAVENDER BUTTER

Steps:

• To make the sauce, combine the vinegar, salt and shallots in a small, non corrodible saucepan.
• Cook over high heat until the mixture is reduced by half.
• Reduce the heat to very low and remove the pan from the heat.
• Whisk in the butter cubes one at a time, making sure each cube is absorbed before adding another. Do not let the sauce boil or it will separate.
• Regulate the heat by moving the pan on and off the burner.
• The sauce will gradually thicken to the consistency of heavy cream.
• Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the lavender leaves.
• Preheat the barbecue to high.
• Salt and pepper the fish.
• Dip both sides in the flour, then into the oil.
• Grill 2-3 minutes on each side until done to your liking.
• Remove from the grill and place on heated plates or a large platter.
• Pour the sauce over the filets and serve immediately.

CRISPY TROUT WITH KITCHEN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• If it's convenient, set the serving plates to warm in a low oven (175 degrees F) as you prepare the fish.
• For the sauce, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and thyme and cook them briefly until lightly browned. Add the cream, bring it to a boil and reduce quickly by half. Add the remaining 10 tablespoons butter gradually, pat by pat, whisking until incorporated. When the sauce is smooth and thick, discard the garlic and thyme and add the chives, sherry vinegar, tarragon and salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat two large cast-iron skillets over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper and dust the skin sides with the flour. When the pans are hot, add enough canola oil to thinly coat the bottom of each and add a fish to each pan, skin-side down. Cook until the skins turn golden brown and opaque doneness creeps into the pink flesh of the fish. You want to cook the fish nearly all the way through on the skin side. Flip the fish and transfer them to a plate to keep warm in the oven. Cook the remaining fish.
• Pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of sauce onto each warm plate, top with a trout, skin side pointing up, and serve immediately.

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED TROUT WITH LEMON-PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Brush trout on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, skin-side down, until slightly charred and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn each fish over and continue cooking until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and top each with 2 tablespoons Lemon-Parsley Butter. Garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges and serve.
• Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

GRILLED STEELHEAD TROUT

Steps:

• Lightly oil the grate of your grill. Arrange lemon slices on the grate so they overlap slightly and form a shape slightly larger than your trout fillet.
• Preheat grill for medium heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat.
• Saute garlic and onion in the hot oil until the garlic browns slightly, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the reserved lemon ends over the garlic mixture.
• Gently lay the trout fillet onto the lemons with the skin side down. Brush the garlic mixture over the top of the fish.
• Cook trout on hot grill until the fish flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.

GRILLED TROUT WITH ALMONDS AND LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine butter, lemon juice, chopped mint, lemon peel, and garlic in small saucepan. Whisk over medium-low heat until butter melts and mixture is blended.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Brush flesh side of trout with some of lemon butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill trout, flesh side down, until beginning to brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Using large metal spatula, turn trout over and grill until cooked through, brushing with more lemon butter, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer trout to plates, skin side down. Bring remaining lemon butter to boil and drizzle over trout. Sprinkle trout with sliced toasted almonds and serve.

STEELHEAD TROUT WITH LEEKS AND MUSTARD CREAM

Steps:

• Liberally season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it is foaming. Add the fish and saute for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a warm plate. Reduce heat to medium-low, add the wine and leeks, and saute until the leeks are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cream and mustard. Add the fish to the pan, baste with the sauce, cover, and cook over medium-low heat until still translucent in the center, about 5 minutes. The fish will continue to cook through off heat. Serve topped with sauce.
