Trout Roasted With Sage Walnuts And Bacon Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED TROUT STUFFED WITH FRESH SAGE

Steps:

• Drizzle cavity of trout with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff cavity with 4 lemon slices and 1 sprig of sage.
• Wrap trout with bacon like a mummy, using toothpicks to hold bacon in place. Each trout will require about 6 strips of bacon.
• Grill for approximately 5 minutes per side over direct medium-high heat, or until bacon is crispy and trout is cooked throughout. Trout can also be pan-seared for approximately 5 minutes per side.

BROOK TROUT ROASTED WITH SAGE, WALNUTS AND BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a medium skillet, fry the bacon until it is cooked through and very lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon and set it aside. Pour out excess bacon grease, return the skillet to the heat and add the shallot and walnuts. Toast, shaking the pan frequently, until the walnuts are very lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sage and reserved bacon.
• Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper and brush the skin lightly with vegetable oil. Divide the bacon mixture between the four trout, stuffing it in the cavity of each fish. Place fish in a large roasting pan fitted with a rack or two smaller pans. Roast until the fish is just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer the trout to plates and serve garnished with lemon wedges and watercress sprigs.

• Preheat the oven to a temperature of 400 degree F.
• Combine butter, salt, rosemary, thyme and parsley in a small mixing bowl. Mix well.
• Divide this mixture into four portions and place one portion in the cavity area of each trout.
• Use two bacon strips to wrap each fish, and then, place them on a large piece of aluminum foil. Wrap the foil around to make a sealed packet.
• Keep the packet on a cooking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, at a temperature of 350 degrees F.
