MEDITERRANEAN PAN SEARED TROUT RECIPE WITH TZATZIKI

Steps:

• Mix the coriander, paprika, and garlic powder in a small mixing bowl.
• Pat the trout fillet dry. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper on both sides, then season with the spices on both sides.
• Coat the seasoned fish with the flour, shake off any excess flour (you only want a very thin layer).
• In a large cast iron skillet, heat about 3 to 4 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking (see note). Sear the trout fillets for 3 minutes on each side (start with skin-side down, and use a spatula to very carefully flip the fish fillets over).
• Remove the fish from the pan and place it on a tray lined with paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
• Transfer to serving platter and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

CILANTRO-MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, combine the cilantro, mint, mango pulp, lime juice and chiles, and blend at high speed until smooth. Season with salt to taste, then add water as needed, pulsing to combine, to achieve a thick and slightly chunky consistency. Adjust the seasoning with lime juice and salt as needed.
• This chutney will keep refrigerated in a covered container for up to 1 week. After that, the vivid green color will begin to lose its vibrancy, though the chutney will still taste delicious for a full 2 weeks.

MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, until smooth and thick enough to hold at the lip of a spoon without any liquid running. The chunky bits should not separate from the liquid. The consistency of the chutney will probably depend on the strength of the blender, and a chunky chutney made with a lower powered blender tastes just as good as a very smooth one. The chutney can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
