Sauteed Trout With Orange 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.

SAUTEED TROUT WITH LEMON CHIVE BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix 3 tablespoons butter, the lemon zest, juice, shallots and 2 tablespoons chives until well combined. Place the butter onto a small piece of plastic wrap and, using both ends of the plastic wrap, spin it around to make a cylinder. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Using needle nose tweezers, remove all the bones from the trout. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over moderate heat in a large nonstick skillet. Sprinkle the trout with salt and pepper. Place the fish skin-side down and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Using a sharp paring knife, slide the knife into the thickest part of the fish. If you don't feel any resistance, your fish is done. Transfer the fish to serving plates, top with butter and garnish with the remaining chives.
• BYOC: The beauty of this butter is you can make it anything you want. Why not try limes and chiles, lemon and mint, rosemary, thyme and sage? Anything goes when you are in the kitchen.

• Pour off the excess fat from the pan. Add the orange sections, shallots and lemon thyme, and cook briefly, just to warm through. Do not brown the shallots. Stir in the lemon juice, the vodka and the soft butter. Blend well.
• To serve, place trout, one each, on warm plates, and spoon the sauce over it. Garnish with the basil.
