Trout Fennel And Apple Toasts Recipes

TROUT WITH FENNEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a skillet over medium heat cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet, reserving drippings. Drain bacon on paper towels and crumble bacon.
• Add fennel and onion to pan; sprinkle with salt and cook until browned (8-10 minutes). Transfer to bowl and season with pepper and stir in the cilantro.
• On a greased (or coated with Pam) and foil-lined baking sheet, place two trout fillets, cover with the vegetable mixture and then cover with the remaining fillets. Roast for 15 minutes or until opaque. Serve with lemon wedges and crumbled bacon.

SMOKED TROUT SALAD WITH FENNEL, APPLE & BEETROOT

Steps:

• Put the fennel in a shallow serving dish and scatter over the apple, spring onions and beetroots. Flake the trout into chunky pieces and arrange on top. Sprinkle with half the dill fronds. Finely chop the remaining fronds and reserve.
• Mix the yogurt and horseradish with 1 tbsp cold water, then stir in the reserved dill. Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss very lightly. Spoon over the remaining dressing and serve.

TROUT & FENNEL PARCELS

Steps:

• 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.
• Wrap the parcels and put on the hot baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12 mins or until fish is opaque and feels firm, top with extra dill and serve.

APPLE TART WITH CARAMELIZED FENNEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out puff pastry sheet on lightly floured surface to 12-inch square. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim overhang to 1 inch. Fold in overhang to form double-thick high-standing sides. Pierce pastry all over with fork. Freeze pastry shell 15 minutes. Line shell with foil and beans or pie weights. Bake until sides are set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until bottom is golden, about 8 minutes longer. Cool pastry shell.
• Place apples, 1/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons sugar in heavy medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until mixture is reduced to 1 1/4 cups, stirring and breaking up apples with back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Cook fennel in large saucepan of boiling, lightly salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; drain fennel well.
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Stir in 3/4 cup sugar. Cook until sugar dissolves and mixture is dark amber, stirring frequently, about 14 minutes. Stir in drained fennel (caramel mixture will harden). Cover; cook until caramel melts, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Uncover and simmer until caramel thickens, about 5 minutes longer (fennel will be very tender). (Pastry shell, apple compote and caramelized fennel can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately. Refrigerate apple and fennel mixtures; store pastry shell airtight at room temperature.)
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread apple compote evenly over bottom of pastry shell. Arrange caramelized fennel evenly over compote. Sprinkle tart with aniseed. Bake until warmed through, about 15 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Broil until bubbly.
