Griddled Trout With Herbs Recipes

GRILLED TROUT STUFFED WITH LEMON AND HERBS

Steps:

• Thaw fish if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Remove the heads of the trout if desired. Rub both sides of the fish lightly with the olive oil. Lay fish flesh-side up and sprinkle with the salt and pepper; set aside.
• Cut one of the lemons in half lengthwise, then cut each half into thin slices. Cut remaining lemon into wedges; set aside.
• In a small bowl stir together the snipped or dried herbs and the garlic. Sprinkle the flesh-side of each fish with the herb mixture. Arrange the lemon slices evenly on half of each side of the fish. Arrange herb sprigs over lemon slices. Squeeze one of the lemon wedges over fish. Fold unfilled side of fish over lemon slices and herbs.
• Grill the fish on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once. Serve with remaining lemon wedges. Makes: 4 servings

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.

• 1. The herbs below are what might have been used in Anglo-Saxon East Anglia, but use whatever you might fancy. Try to use fresh, although dried is acceptable. 6 fresh cleaned trout 6 sprigs fresh rosemary, or 1-2 tablespoons dried 75g (3 oz) soft butter 18 fresh mint leaves or 2 teaspoons dried Leaves from 6 sprigs fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried 6 fresh sage leaves or 1 scant teaspoon dried 1-2 teaspoons coarse sea salt 6-9 grinds black pepper Put one sprig or generous shake of rosemary down the middle of each fish. Chop all the other herbs and seasonings and mash them into the soft butter. Use this to coat the fish generously on each side. Griddle, barbeque or grill it for 4-5 minutes on each side or till the skin is well browned and the flesh flaking off the bone. Baste now and then with the butter which runs off. Serve at once.
