Rocky Mountain Rainbow Trout With Trout Roe Recipes

ROCKY MOUNTAIN RAINBOW TROUT WITH TROUT ROE

Steps:

• Open the trout fillets and fan out like a book, lifting open both fillets to create an even, somewhat flat surface.
• In a small bowl, mix together the sumac and salt. Season the trout on both sides with the sumac-salt blend.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, add one trout at a time, flesh-side down, and cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the fish and cook until firm throughout, 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer the trout to a warm plate, skin-side down, and tent with foil until all the fish is cooked. Repeat with the remaining oil and fish. (You only need 3 tablespoons oil: 1 tablespoon for each batch except the last, which won't need it.)
• Lightly drizzle the cooked trout with more oil, if desired. Garnish with walnuts and watercress; spoon the trout roe on top. Serve immediately.

PAN FRIED TROUT

Steps:

Add the olive oil, then when hot, lay the trout fillets skin side down in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes. Carefully flip with a thin, wide spatula and cook on the other side for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown, nearly opaque and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Don't overcook the fish!
• Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top of the pan fried trout.
