STEELHEAD TROUT RECIPE WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the tops of steelhead trout fillets with Italian herb seasoning and salt (generously). Fish fillets will have skins on the bottom.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat until hot but not smoking. (Note: 1 tablespoon of olive oil is enough as fish will release lots of its own oil - steelhead trout is a fatty kind of fish).
• Add steelhead trout fillets, skin side up, non-skin side down. Cook for about 2 minutes on medium heat, making sure the oil does not smoke.
• Turn the fillets over, skin side down. Cook for another 2 minutes on medium-low heat (keeping oil from burning).
• Remove from heat, close the pan with the lid, and let the trout sit for 5-10 minutes until flaky and cooked through completely.
• After the fish is cooked through, using a spatula, carefully remove trout fillets to the plate, separating the fillet from the skin (skin will remain on the bottom of the pan). Carefully scrape the fish skin off the bottom of the pan, making sure to leave the fish oil in the pan.
• Add capers, diced garlic, and lemon juice to the same skillet with oil in which you just cooked the trout.
• Cook the sauce on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens a bit. Remove from heat.
• Add 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the lemon caper sauce, stirring, until the butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
• Add cooked steelhead trout fillets back to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, and serve.

TROUT FILLETS WITH LIME AND CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash and dry the trout fillets and season lightly.
• Melt 1oz of the butter in a large frying pan and as soon as it starts to foam, add the fillets, skin side down.
• Fry gently for 3 minutes, carefully flip over and cook for a further 1 minute.
• Using a fish slice, transfer the trout to heated plates and keep warm in a low oven.
• Add the remaining butter to the pan with the capers and dill and fry until golden brown.
• Add lime juice to taste and a little salt and pepper.
• Spoon over the trout.

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.

SMOKED TROUT CANAPES WITH CAPER BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place bread on baking sheet and toast slightly for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.
• Spread each slice of bread with caper butter. Cover with layer of smoked trout. Cut into squares or circles (using cookie cutter) and on each canape place a thin slice of cucumber and a sprig of dill.
• Combine everything in a medium bowl and mix well with fork. Transfer to a sheet of parchment paper and roll into a log. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.

GARLIC-LIME MARINATED TROUT

Steps:

• In a large shallow dish, stir together the marinade ingredients. Add the fish, turning several times to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
• Lightly spray the grill rack or broiler pan and rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium high or preheat the broiler.
• Transfer the fish with the flesh side up to a large plate, discarding the marinade. Sprinkle the flesh side of the fish with the salt. Using your fingertips, gently press the salt so it adheres to the fish.
• If grilling, place the fish with the flesh side down on the grill and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. If broiling, place the fish with the flesh side up on the broiler rack and broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 5 to 6 minutes without turning, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with the lime wedges to squeeze over the fish.
