Trout With Lemon Capers Rosemary And Anchovies Recipes

PAN-FRIED TROUT WITH ROSEMARY, LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Press 1/2 teaspoon of the rosemary needles into the flesh of each trout fillet. Combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Coat the fillets in the seasoned flour.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the trout and saute until cooked through, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the trout from the pan and place on warmed plates. Add the shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 15 seconds.
• Pour in the wine and reduce to 1/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, capers and remaining teaspoon rosemary and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place 1 trout fillet on each of 4 plates, spoon the sauce over the trout and serve immediately.

BROILED STEELHEAD TROUT WITH ROSEMARY, LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Prepare a baking or roasting pan by lining it with foil and brushing it with olive oil.
• Preheat broiler.
• Mix together all remaining ingredients except fish into a well-blended paste.
• Place fish skin-side down (if it has skin) on baking sheet, then spread seasoning over flesh.
• Broil fish at second rack away from heat for 5 minutes or less, just enough to sear flesh but not burn herbs.
• Lower fish to 3rd or 4th rack and lower oven heat to 325°F Bake for 10 additional minutes, or until fish is cooked through in the thickest portion.
• Serve with steamed vegetables, salad, orzo salad, whatever.

BUTTERY TROUT WITH CAPERS

• When the fish is almost ready, melt the remaining butter in a frying pan. Turn up the heat until it turns brown. Take off the heat, then add lemon juice, parsley and capers. Pour over the fish, then serve with green beans.

• Put fish in an ovenproof dish.
• Pour the olive oil mixture over the fish.
• Thinly slice the lemons and arrange the slices so that they cover the fish completely.
• Drain the anchovies of oil, slice in half and drape over the lemon slices.
• Add splash of white wine and salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake in oven at 200c for 20 minutes, or until fish is cooked.

TROUT WITH CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the mashed potatoes: Put the potatoes in a large pot with 2 gallons of cold water. Bring the water and potatoes to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender. Strain the potatoes and allow them to rest in the strainer over the sink for 5 to 10 minutes so they steam and dry out a bit. While the potatoes are draining combine the cream and butter in the pot and bring to a boil, melting the butter.
• Put the potatoes back into the pot with the cream and the butter and whip with an electric hand mixer until the potatoes are smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm. (If the potatoes cool off, heat them in a pan with the additional 1/4 cup cream and 2 tablespoons butter just before plating.)
• For the vegetables: Prepare a large bowl of ice water for shocking the vegetables after blanching. Bring 2 gallons of water to a rolling boil and add the salt.
• Add half of the green beans to the boiling water and cook until tender but not over-cooked, about 3 minutes. Transfer the beans to the ice bath using a hand strainer. Allow the water to come back up to a rolling boil and repeat the process with the remainder of the green beans and then the carrots.
• For the trout: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat a large skillet over high heat until smoking hot and reduce the heat to medium-high. Season the trout with salt and pepper, then dredge the skin side of the trout in the flour. Coat the skillet with grape seed oil.
• Place the trout in the skillet skin-side down and sear until the skin is golden brown and the flesh begins to turn opaque. Gently flip the filets over and finish cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the trout to the prepared baking sheet and allow the cooked trout to rest for 5 minutes.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until they just begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat a large saute pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the grape seed oil to the pan and then add the shallots and capers. Saute for 2 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice and bring to a boil; cook until reduced by half. Take the pan off the heat and add the butter a little at a time, swirling the pan to emulsify the butter into the lemon juice. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper (be careful with the salt because the capers can be very salty already). Stir in the chopped parsley.
• For plating: In a large saute pan over high heat add the carrots and green beans and enough water to create a thin layer in the pan. Allow the water to boil and once the beans and carrots are hot, season them with salt and pepper.
• Place a scoop of the mashed potatoes in the center of each of 6 plates. Arrange two filets of trout on top, flesh-side up. Arrange the carrots and green beans leaning on the trout to one side.
• Spoon 2 ounces of sauce onto each plate and sprinkle the toasted almond slices over the top of the fish. Serve immediately.

LEMON TROUT

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, lemon pepper, salt, thyme, cayenne and half of the lemon zest. Combine the lemon juice and remaining lemon zest in a shallow dish and soak fish fillets for about 1 minute.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip the trout fillets in the flour mixture so that both sides are coated. Shake off the excess and place fillets in the hot oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fish can be flaked with a fork. Discard the leftover lemon juice.
• Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels briefly before serving. Garnish each serving with a wedge of lemon.

SEA TROUT WITH ANCHOVIES AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Lightly score the skin of each fillet at half-inch intervals.
• Bring to a boil enough water to cover the tomatoes. Add the tomatoes, remove from heat and let stand about 9 seconds. Drain and peel the tomatoes, then cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. There should be about 3 cups.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and all of the butter in a saucepan, and add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet and add the fillets, skin side down. Cook over relatively high heat about 2 minutes on one side. Turn the fillets over and cook about 1 minute longer. Arrange the fillets skin side up on a warm serving platter. Garnish each fillet with two anchovy fillets, crossing one over the other. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of the cooking oil over each fillet.
• Spoon equal portions of the tomatoes over each fillet. Sprinkle with chopped basil and serve.
