Lemon Cream Sauce For Trout Recipes

TROUT WITH GARLIC LEMON BUTTER HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the top of fish fillets with Italian herb seasoning and salt (generously). Fish fillets will have skins on the bottom - no need to season the skins.
• In a large skillet (large enough to fit 2 fish fillets), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat until heated but not smoking. To the hot skillet with olive oil, add fish fillets skin side up - flesh side down. Cook the flesh side of the fish for about 3-5 minutes on medium heat, making sure the oil does not smoke, until lightly browned.
• Flip the fillets over to the other side, skin side down (add more oil, if needed). Cook for another 2-4 minutes on medium heat (to prevent oil from burning).
• Remove the skillet from heat, close with the lid, and let the fish sit for 5-10 minutes, covered, in the skillet, until flaky and cooked through completely.
• After the fish is cooked through, off heat, using spatula, carefully remove fillets to the plate, separating the fish from the skin. Carefully remove or scrape the fish skin off the bottom of the pan, making sure to leave all the cooking oils in the pan.
• Add diced garlic, lemon juice, and white wine to the same pan with oil. Cook on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens a bit. Remove from heat. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the sauce, stirring, until the butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
• Add fish to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, top the fish and sauce with the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley, and serve.

LEMON CREAM SAUCE FOR TROUT

Steps:

• 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.
