Broiled Trout Recipes

Steps:

• Position an oven rack about 2-inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, covered, until the mushrooms release their liquid, about 4 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are pale golden, about 5 minutes more. Add the wine and boil until reduced to a glaze, about 8 minutes. Add the broth and fish sauce and boil until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Stir together the cream and cornstarch, and stir into the sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in the hot sauce.
• Arrange the lemon slices, if using, on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until charred in spots. Remove to a plate.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Put the trout skin-side up the baking sheet and spoon the butter over the top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and broil until just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the trout to serving plates. Spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with cilantro and bell pepper if using. Serve with broiled lemon slices and more hot sauce for drizzling.

Steps:

• Prepare a baking or roasting pan by lining it with foil and brushing it with olive oil.
• Preheat broiler.
• Mix together all remaining ingredients except fish into a well-blended paste.
• Place fish skin-side down (if it has skin) on baking sheet, then spread seasoning over flesh.
• Broil fish at second rack away from heat for 5 minutes or less, just enough to sear flesh but not burn herbs.
• Lower fish to 3rd or 4th rack and lower oven heat to 325°F Bake for 10 additional minutes, or until fish is cooked through in the thickest portion.
• Serve with steamed vegetables, salad, orzo salad, whatever.

Steps:

• Set oven control to broil. Spray broiler pan rack with cooking spray. Place fish on rack in broiler pan. Brush with lime juice. Broil with tops about 4 inches from heat 3 minutes.
• While fish is broiling, mix remaining ingredients.
• Spoon bread crumb mixture on top of fish. Broil about 1 minute longer or until fish flakes easily with fork.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until butter smells toasted and is golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn off heat.
• Line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil. Place trout onto foil; open trout so skin sides are down. Drizzle each trout with about 1/2 teaspoon melted butter. Generously season with salt and black pepper.
• Move an oven rack to 5 or 6 inches below heat source and preheat oven's broiler on high heat.
• Broil trout until opaque and barely firm to the touch, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Return pan of melted butter over high heat; stir in lemon juice and parsley. Bring butter sauce to a boil; whisk to combine. Serve trout on plates and drizzle with butter sauce.
