TROUT WITH GARLIC LEMON BUTTER HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the top of fish fillets with Italian herb seasoning and salt (generously). Fish fillets will have skins on the bottom - no need to season the skins.
• In a large skillet (large enough to fit 2 fish fillets), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat until heated but not smoking. To the hot skillet with olive oil, add fish fillets skin side up - flesh side down. Cook the flesh side of the fish for about 3-5 minutes on medium heat, making sure the oil does not smoke, until lightly browned.
• Flip the fillets over to the other side, skin side down (add more oil, if needed). Cook for another 2-4 minutes on medium heat (to prevent oil from burning).
• Remove the skillet from heat, close with the lid, and let the fish sit for 5-10 minutes, covered, in the skillet, until flaky and cooked through completely.
• After the fish is cooked through, off heat, using spatula, carefully remove fillets to the plate, separating the fish from the skin. Carefully remove or scrape the fish skin off the bottom of the pan, making sure to leave all the cooking oils in the pan.
• Add diced garlic, lemon juice, and white wine to the same pan with oil. Cook on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens a bit. Remove from heat. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the sauce, stirring, until the butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
• Add fish to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, top the fish and sauce with the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley, and serve.

TROUT WITH LIME AND THYME

Steps:

• Mix lime juice, olive oil, thyme, garlic, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Place trout fillets in bag, seal the bag, and marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove fillets from marinade and shake off excess; discard used marinade. Grill fish on preheated grill until the flesh flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes, turning once.

PAN-FRIED TROUT WITH GARLIC AND LEMON

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 375 F / 190 C.
• Wash and pat dry the cherry tomatoes. Place them in a small baking dish.
• Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Sprinkle on the lemon zest and then cover the dish with foil.
• Roast for 25 minutes, remove from the oven and set aside.
• Add the peeled and quartered yellow potatoes to a pot of cold water. Boil the potatoes until soft, about 20 minutes, then drain.
• In a large bowl, mash the potatoes well.
• Add the milk, butter, sea salt, and pepper. Combine well, cover, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves finely chopped garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
• Fry the fish, skin-side down, in the skillet for 5 minutes.
• Turn the fillets over and fry for 2 minutes. Turn them over, skin-side down again, and turn off the heat.
• Squeeze 2 tablespoons lemon juice over the fillets and add 2 teaspoons butter. Sprinkle on 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.
• Plate the fish with the sides of mashed potatoes and roasted tomatoes.
• Serve and enjoy.

RAINBOW TROUT WITH JASMINE RICE AND CITRUS VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Season trout fillets lightly with salt and pepper on both meat and skin sides. Lightly dust fillets with flour and shake off excess. In a non-stick skillet large enough to hold all 4 fish, heat the oil and butter over high heat until almost smoking. (You may need to work in batches or use 2 skillets if you don't have one that is large enough). Carefully place the trout, meat side down, in the skillet and saute for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully turn the fish over with tongs and finish cooking on the skin side, about 2 more minutes. With tongs, remove the trout from the skillet and serve immediately with the rice and vinaigrette.
• Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Add enough salt and pepper to make the water taste slightly salty. Cover and bring to a boil. When the water level drops below the rice, reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer for about 8 minutes and turn off the heat. Leave covered and let stand for about 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve hot with the trout.
• Add vinegar, citrus juice, shallots, and mustard to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds. Slowly add oil while machine is running until emulsified; the vinaigrette should be thick. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more citrus juice, to taste, if desired. Drizzle over trout. Toss with steamed fresh seasonal vegetables, if desired.

TROUT WITH LIME & THYME

Steps:

• In a plastic zipper bag, combine all ingredients and mix well to coat the fish fillets.
• Allow to marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
• When ready to cook, discard marinade and grill, broil or saute trout as you normally would (I like to saute it for about 10 to 15 minutes total, turning once, until fish flakes easily).

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.

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.
