Pan Fried Trout With Lemon Thyme Butter Recipes

PANFRIED TROUT WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Rinse trout, and pat dry. Combine 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and flour on a plate. Season insides of fish with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Insert 3 slices of lemon inside each fish, and dredge in flour; shake off excess.
• Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil in an 11-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 trout, arrange 4 or 5 lemon slices around fish, and cook until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. If lemon slices begin to burn, put them on top of fish. Turn fish, and cook until it has a golden crust and is flaky and moist, about 5 to 6 minutes more.
• Remove fish from skillet, and keep warm wrapped in foil. Repeat twice with remaining trout, butter, oils, and lemon slices. Serve fish with some of the cooked lemon slices.

PAN FRIED TROUT WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Separate the trout fillets from each other, if they are attached, and remove any fins. Season the fish with some salt and pepper to taste.
• Melt about 10g of butter in a pan and fry the fillets, first skin side up, for about 3 minutes on each side or until cooked.
• While you are cooking the fish, crush the basil by hand in a mortar and pestle.
• When fully cooked put the fish on a plate and keep it warm.
• Then melt the rest of the butter in a pan, and add the lemon juice and the basil leaves and bring to the boil, stirring all the time. Then remove from the heat and season to suit. Pour over the fish before serving.

PAN-FRIED TROUT

Steps:

• In a wide flat dish, combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, zest of 1 lemon and salt, to taste.
• In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and the juice of 1 lemon. Brush both sides of the trout with mustard mixture. Coat the fish on both sides with the seasoned bread crumbs and press firmly to adhere the crumbs to the fish.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Coat a large skillet with about 1/4 to 1/2-inch of olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Add the fish to the pan, skin side down, and cook the fish 2/3's of the way, about 6 to 7 minutes. Carefully turn the fish over and cook the other side until the fish is brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the fish from the pan and drain on paper towels. You will probably need to work in batches to do 4 fish. After the first batch is done and dried on paper towels reserve it on a rack in a warm oven.
• When all the fish has been fried, remove the oil and any brown bits from the pan. Add the butter and remaining lemon juice and swirl to combine as the butter melts. Season with salt, to taste, and reduce by about half. Transfer the fish to a serving platter, drizzle with the butter lemon sauce and serve.
• What a fishtale!

• Fold fish closed. Place fish on a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
• Bake in a 450 degree F oven for 15 minutes or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare the vegetables. Cut the red potatoes in quarters. Peel and trim the baby carrots. Trim and cut the spring onions in half lengthwise. Peel and quarter the turnips.
• In a medium saute pan, over high heat, add the olive oil. Add the prepared vegetables, sprig of thyme and saute for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add butter. Continue to saute until lightly golden, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a preheated oven and roast for about 10 minutes or until caramelized.
• Meanwhile, make 3 diagonal slices on each side of the trout. Season with salt and pepper inside and outside. Dredge in flour. In a large saute pan, over high heat, add 2 ounces of butter. Pan-fry the prepared trout until golden, about 5 minutes. Turn and add a sprig of sage and the remaining 1-ounce of butter. Continue to pan-fry until golden on both sides, basting the topside of the fish with the cooking butter, another 5 minutes.
• Add lemon juice and parsley. Add the cooked vegetables to the trout and serve on pan for an informal al fresco dining, or on heated serving plates, place a pan-fried trout and surround with half of the caramelized vegetables. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side and serve immediately.
