Caper And Herb Stuffed Trout Recipes

Steps:

• For the mashed potatoes: Put the potatoes in a large pot with 2 gallons of cold water. Bring the water and potatoes to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender. Strain the potatoes and allow them to rest in the strainer over the sink for 5 to 10 minutes so they steam and dry out a bit. While the potatoes are draining combine the cream and butter in the pot and bring to a boil, melting the butter.
• Put the potatoes back into the pot with the cream and the butter and whip with an electric hand mixer until the potatoes are smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm. (If the potatoes cool off, heat them in a pan with the additional 1/4 cup cream and 2 tablespoons butter just before plating.)
• For the vegetables: Prepare a large bowl of ice water for shocking the vegetables after blanching. Bring 2 gallons of water to a rolling boil and add the salt.
• Add half of the green beans to the boiling water and cook until tender but not over-cooked, about 3 minutes. Transfer the beans to the ice bath using a hand strainer. Allow the water to come back up to a rolling boil and repeat the process with the remainder of the green beans and then the carrots.
• For the trout: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat a large skillet over high heat until smoking hot and reduce the heat to medium-high. Season the trout with salt and pepper, then dredge the skin side of the trout in the flour. Coat the skillet with grape seed oil.
• Place the trout in the skillet skin-side down and sear until the skin is golden brown and the flesh begins to turn opaque. Gently flip the filets over and finish cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the trout to the prepared baking sheet and allow the cooked trout to rest for 5 minutes.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until they just begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat a large saute pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the grape seed oil to the pan and then add the shallots and capers. Saute for 2 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice and bring to a boil; cook until reduced by half. Take the pan off the heat and add the butter a little at a time, swirling the pan to emulsify the butter into the lemon juice. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper (be careful with the salt because the capers can be very salty already). Stir in the chopped parsley.
• For plating: In a large saute pan over high heat add the carrots and green beans and enough water to create a thin layer in the pan. Allow the water to boil and once the beans and carrots are hot, season them with salt and pepper.
• Place a scoop of the mashed potatoes in the center of each of 6 plates. Arrange two filets of trout on top, flesh-side up. Arrange the carrots and green beans leaning on the trout to one side.
• Spoon 2 ounces of sauce onto each plate and sprinkle the toasted almond slices over the top of the fish. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dry the trout inside and out with paper towels.
• In a bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, tarragon, chives and parsley. Season and stuff into the trout cavities. Secure closed with toothpicks and place in a greased flame-proof baking dish.
• Brush with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove to a warm serving platter. Pour to a warm serving platter. Pour the wine into the baking dish and bring to boil over high heat. Scrape up the cooking juices and pour over the fish. Garnish with tarragon and serve

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 7/425F/220°C.
• To make the stuffing, mix parsley, lemon zest and juice, capers, grated garlic and finely sliced onion together in a bowl.
• Season with salt and freshly milled black pepper and give it a good mix.
• Open each trout and in the gut cavity, spread the stuffing then fold back to its original shape.
• Place the fish in a buttered baking dish.
• Put a knob of butter on each fish and bake on the top shelf of the oven for 15 minutes, basting once with the juice.
• To serve, place the fish on a serving plate and pour over the fish the remaining juices from the tray.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Liberally grease a baking dish and set aside. 2. To make the stuffing, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the stuffing mix, celery, onion, parsley, capers, and tarragon. Stir in the butter or margarine and the egg. Then gradually stir in just enough broth to moisten the mixture to the desired consistency. Set aside. 3. Rinse the fish and pat it dry. Place it in the prepared baking dish and rub the interior of the fish with the lemon juice. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. 4. Stuff the fish with the prepared mixture and secure with toothpicks or skewers. Brush the outside of the fish with the butter, margarine, or oil. 5. Place the fish in the oven and bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Rinse the fish, then pat dry with kitchen paper. Put in a roasting tray, season, then dot with a third of the butter. Roast for 10-12 mins.
• When the fish is almost ready, melt the remaining butter in a frying pan. Turn up the heat until it turns brown. Take off the heat, then add lemon juice, parsley and capers. Pour over the fish, then serve with green beans.
