Trout In Lemon Sauce Recipes

PAN FRIED TROUT WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Separate the trout fillets from each other, if they are attached, and remove any fins. Season the fish with some salt and pepper to taste.
• Melt about 10g of butter in a pan and fry the fillets, first skin side up, for about 3 minutes on each side or until cooked.
• While you are cooking the fish, crush the basil by hand in a mortar and pestle.
• When fully cooked put the fish on a plate and keep it warm.
• Then melt the rest of the butter in a pan, and add the lemon juice and the basil leaves and bring to the boil, stirring all the time. Then remove from the heat and season to suit. Pour over the fish before serving.

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.

Sprinkle the green onions and parsley over the top. Combine the melted butter, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl. Mix well. Place the trout in the oven. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-30 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Baste the fish with the lemon sauce several times during the cook time. Serve the fish drizzled with any remaining sauce.

SMOKED TROUT WITH LEMON-CHIVE SAUCE

• In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, crème fraîche, lemon zest, lemon juice, chives and dill. Mix well.
• Place a piece of trout on a slice of baguette, and top with a dollop of sauce. Repeat with remaining trout and arrange on a platter.

LEMON CREAM SAUCE FOR TROUT

Steps:

• Turn on broiler and place rack in top position.
• Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then brush both sides of fillets with olive oil, place skin-side down and sprinkle with Italian herb mix, paprika, and a bit of salt.
• Place in oven and cook for about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat wine, lemon juice, and shallots in a small pan over medium-high heat.
• Reduce wine to about a tablespoon, add cream and continue cooking over medium-high heat for about a minute.
• Remove from heat and stir in butter, capers, salt, and white pepper. Once trout is plated, pour sauce over fillets.
• Optional Sides: Preheat oven to 200 F. Keep trout covered and warm in the oven. In a small or medium frying pan, add a couple of tablespoons of water. Bring to a boil and toss in the julienned carrots. Boil for about a minute, remove and place covered into the warm oven. Remove excess moisture from pan, set flame to medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add potato wedges and fry on both sides until crispy. Season with salt and pepper while cooking, for a bit of heat mix in a dash of smoked paprika. Once cooked remove to a paper towel-lined plate to let the excess oil soak off. Keep in the warmed oven until ready to assemble. Wipe out the pan, place over medium-high heat, add remaining butter. Once melted add the fennel and cook for about a minute. Next, combine the peas and cream with the fennel. Cook till peas are softened but not mushy, about three minutes.
• To Assemble: Place potatoes down first, spooning the peas over potatoes and now gently lay the trout on top of the bed of peas. Stack the julienned carrots on the trout. Pour the lemon cream sauce over the dish and for an extra touch add some toasted almond slices.
