Mediterranean Trout In A Parcel Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN PAN SEARED TROUT RECIPE WITH TZATZIKI

Steps:

• Mix the coriander, paprika, and garlic powder in a small mixing bowl.
• Pat the trout fillet dry. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper on both sides, then season with the spices on both sides.
• Coat the seasoned fish with the flour, shake off any excess flour (you only want a very thin layer).
• In a large cast iron skillet, heat about 3 to 4 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking (see note). Sear the trout fillets for 3 minutes on each side (start with skin-side down, and use a spatula to very carefully flip the fish fillets over).
• Remove the fish from the pan and place it on a tray lined with paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
• Transfer to serving platter and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

MEDITERRANEAN STYLE TROUT

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium pot and fill with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until fork-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, cover, and set aside.
• While the potatoes are cooking, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet on medium high. Rinse the trout fillets and pat dry. Season the trout with the dried Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. Gently place the trout in the heated oil and pan fry without moving the fillets for 10 minutes.
• Carefully turn the fillets. Arrange the bell pepper and onions on top of the trout and cook for 5 minutes. Then, place the anchovies, olives, tomatoes, capers, and parsley on top of the fillets. Pour in the white wine and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve the trout and vegetables on a bed of steamed potatoes.

• Heat oven to 210C/fan 190C/gas 7. Heat a baking sheet in the oven. Cook bulgar wheat according to the pack, drain, cool and fork in lemon zest and dill.
• Divide bulgar wheat between 2 sheets baking parchment. Sandwich together 2 fish fillets and sit on top. Sprinkle over fennel, spring onions, lemon juice, and season to taste.

RAINBOW TROUT BAKED IN FOIL WITH TOMATOES, GARLIC AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, or 8 sheets of lighter foil, into squares that are 3 inches longer than your fish. If using lighter foil, make 4 double-thick squares. Oil the dull side of the foil with olive oil and place a trout, skin side down, on each square. Season both sides with salt and pepper and open them out flat.
• In a bowl combine the tomatoes, garlic, 1 teaspoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon over the middle of each trout. Place 1 or 2 sprigs of thyme on top, and fold the two sides of the trout together. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each fish.
• Making sure that the trout are in the middle of each square, fold the foil up loosely, grab at the edges and crimp together tightly to make a packet. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, checking one of the packets after 10 minutes. The flesh should be opaque and pull apart easily when tested with a fork.
• Place each packet on a plate. Carefully cut across the top to open it, taking care not to let the steam from inside the packet burn you. Gently remove the fish from the packet and pour the juices over. Sprinkle with parsley or thyme and serve, passing the lemon wedges.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN PARCELS

Steps:

• Cut four pieces of foil about 10 in square. Brush the squares with the oil and set aside until needed.
• With a sharp knife, slash each chicken breast at intervals, then slice the mozzarella and place between the cuts in the chicken.
• Divide the courgettes and tomatoes between the pieces of foil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roughly chop the basil or oregano and scatter over the vegetables in each parcel.
• Place the chicken on top of each pile of veggies then wrap in the foil to enclose the vegetables and chicken, tucking in the ends.
• Place on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for about 30 minutes.
• To serve, unwrap each foil parcel and serve with rice or pasta.

MEDITERRANEAN FISH PARCELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 170C/conventional 190C/gas 5. Boil potatoes in lightly salted water for about 12 minutes or until tender, then drain well.
• Take 2 large sheets of foil, about 30cm square, and brush the middle area of each sheet with the olive oil. Put a fish fillet on top and spread with the tomato paste. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and juice, add the cooked potatoes, olives and capers and season with ground pepper.
• Lay a sprig of rosemary or thyme on top then loosely wrap and secure each parcel tightly to completely enclose the ingredients. You can prepare these up to half a day in advance and keep them in the fridge.
• Put the fish parcels on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes when tested with a fork. Serve at once, with steamed green beans.

TROUT IN A PARCEL WITH LEMON, FENNEL & CRèME FRAîCHE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• 1. Leaving their skins on, steam potatoes until almost tender. This will take about 10 minutes. Try to choose evenly sized baby potatoes so they all cook using the same amount of time. Slice them when they are cool enough to handle. 2. Preheat the oven to 170C. Mix lemon zest, salt, pepper and olive oil in a bowl. 3. Place each trout on a large sheet of baking paper. Rub the mixture onto the surface and inside of the fish thoroughly. 4. Stuff trout with potato and fennel slices. Place the rest of the potatoes on the paper, beside the fish. 5. Bring the edges of the baking paper together and fold over twice to enclose. Twist and tighten both sides with string to form a sealed parcel. The parcel should look like a giant sweet. 6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. To check for doneness, open a parcel and gently lift up the skin of the fish using a fork - the flesh should look opaque and flake easily. 7. Serve straight from the parcel with a generous heap of crème fraîche and lemon wedges. For us, we finish off by drizzling a little olive oil for extra flavor and presentation.
