Cashew Crusted Trout Recipes

Steps:

• Spread the cheese in a flat-bottomed dish large enough to hold a trout fillet.
• Dredge each fillet, flesh side down, in the cheese. Arrange the fillets, flesh side up, on a clean dry work surface and coat with additional cheese.
• Heat a heavy non-stick skillet sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray over medium-high heat. Arrange the fillets, flesh side down and not touching, in the hot skillet;cook for 3 minutes.
• Turn the fillets once; cook 2 minutes longer.
• Serve hot with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Rub the oil and garlic paste over the fish with 2 tbsp of the lime juice. Season, then marinate for 20-30 mins.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Whizz together the crust ingredients and the remaining lime juice to make a rough paste. Pat the fish fillets dry with some kitchen paper, then press a quarter of the crust onto each fillet. Lift onto an oiled baking tray, then roast for 12-15 mins until cooked through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Mix pecans, rosemary, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Place flour in a separate shallow bowl. Dip trout fillets in flour and shake off excess; dip fish into beaten egg, then into seasoned pecans, lightly pressing pecan coating onto fish. Arrange fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine the preserves, mustard and curry powder in a large skillet and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until preserves are completely melted and smooth.
• Place cashews in a shallow dish or bowl. Dip chicken breasts in skillet sauce, then roll in nuts to coat and place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 to 30 minutes. Boil any remaining sauce and serve on the side with the baked chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat hot grill or barbecue. Slash skins of fish deeply three times on each side to let the heat permeate the flesh. Remove the heads if you like.
• Brush the fish lightly with oil, and season with salt and pepper both inside and out.
• Cook under grill or on barbecue for 4 minutes on each side, or until the skin is browned and the flesh feels firm.
• Melt the butter in a wide shallow pan, and fry the nuts quickly until toasted. Add the garlic and parsley, and fry the mixture briefly until the parsley darkens slightly.
• Add the lemon juice with more salt and pepper to taste and heat through.
• Put each trout on a warm serving plate, and spoon over cashew and garlic butter.

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until just soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato, vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon tarragon and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Place the green beans in a large microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon water, cover with plastic wrap and microwave until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; keep warm.
• Put the cornmeal in a shallow bowl. Dredge the fish in the cornmeal, shaking off the excess. Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the fish and cook until golden, turning once, about 5 minutes. (Add more butter between batches, if needed.) Transfer the fish to plates.
• Return the sauce to medium heat. Add the half-and-half, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon tarragon and 1/2 tablespoon butter and season with salt. Serve the fish with the green beans and top with the sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Coarsely grind the oatmeal in a food processor. Transfer to a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Beat the egg and milk in another shallow dish.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Remove and reserve all but about 2 tablespoons drippings from the skillet. Add the leeks and garlic to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the parsley, bacon, and salt and pepper to taste; keep warm.
• Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels. Dredge the trout in the oats, dip in the milk mixture and then in the oats again, turning to coat. Heat the reserved bacon drippings with the olive oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the trout in batches until golden on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip and fry until cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Add the vinegar to the skillet and bring to a boil. Serve the trout with the leeks and drizzle with the vinegar dressing

Steps:

• To make the pecan crusted trout:
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine all of the dry ingredients, seasonings, and herbs. Brush each trout fillet with the softened butter. Sprinkle the buttered side of each trout fillet with the pecan crust and press firmly with your hand to completely cover each fillet.
• Brush a cookie sheet with the remaining butter. Place the un-breaded side of the trout down on the buttered cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the flesh is firm and flaky.
• To make the watercress salad and apple cider vinaigrette:
• In a large bowl, toss the lettuce, the apple slices, and the grated horseradish root. In a separate bowl, combine the cider vinegar, lemon juice, minced shallot, ground fennel seed, salt and pepper. Then whisk in the apple cider, olive oil, and walnut oil. Dress salad with the vinaigrette.
• Using a large spatula, carefully lift the trout onto a plate. Spoon the horseradish cream over the crusted trout. Serve with a watercress salad with apple cider vinaigrette.
• To make the horseradish cream: Chill the reduced heavy cream until cold and thick. Combine all ingredients and gently mix. Keep cold until it goes on warm fish to keep from breaking.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Lay the trout over a lightly oiled baking tray and stuff the fish cavity with slices of lemon and herbs. Season generously all over and drizzle with the remaining oil.
• Bake in the oven for 20 mins until the fish is cooked through - the eyes will have turned white and the flesh will be soft to touch. The trout can be served as they are with your favourite seasonal vegetables, but for an added extra touch, peel away the top layer of skin and grate over fresh horseradish before serving.

Steps:

• To make the crawfish sauce, put the lobster stock and tomato paste in a small saucepan and boil over high heat until reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
• Pour the cream into a medium saucepan and boil over medium heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, to make the trout, spread out the flour on a large plate and season with salt and pepper. Place the eggs in a large shallow bowl. Add a few tablespoons of water, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until combined. Place the cornmeal on a large plate and season with salt and pepper.
• Add the reduced cream to the lobster stock and stir to combine. Add the crawfish tails and watercress leaves, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just to heat through. Keep warm.
• Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Dredge one side of each fillet in the flour and tap off any excess, then dip that side in the egg mixture and let any extra drip off. Finally dredge the same side in the cornmeal and tap off any excess.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Place 2 of the fillets in the pan, cornmeal side down, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining 2 fillets, butter, and oil.
• Ladle some of the sauce onto large plates or shallow bowls and top with the trout. Garnish with watercress leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 415°F.
• Mix together nuts, paprika, salt, and garlic and/or herbs if you choose to use them.
• Spread on a plate.
• Wash and pat dry fish fillets.
• Press each fillet into the nut mixture, coating both sides.
• Bake in ungreased baking pan (the oil content in the nuts is sufficient to keep fish from sticking) until coating is crispy-ish and fish flakes (about 15 minutes or so).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F, line a baking sheet with foil and spray non-stick spray.
• If using whole cashews, pulse in a blender or food processor until crushed.
• Mix the cashews with the bread crumbs, set aside. Mix the milk and eggs and beat together in a medium bowl, set aside. Mix about 1 tsp each of both salt and pepper into the flour, set aside.
• Prepare an assembly line with the three mixtures by putting flour mixture into a shallow plate, and the bread-cashew mixture in another shallow plate.
• Work the fillets one at a time by flouring each of the fillets and shaking off the excess. Proceed to submerge the floured fillet into the eggs and then covering with the bread crumb-nut mixture; repeat with the remaining fillets.
• Place crusted fillets on baking sheet at least an inch apart. Insert into oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Eat fresh.

Steps:

• Beat egg with water in a shallow bowl.
• Roll trout in the flour.
• In a small paper or large ziplock bag, combine cornmeal, chopped nuts, salt, pepper, paprika, and ground cumin.
• One piece at a time, dip fish in egg and then place in bag and toss to coat.
• Heat veggie oil in frying pan over medium heat.
• Fry fish in oil, turning once, till both sides are brown (approx 10 minutes total).
• You can tell when the fish is done, because you can flake it with a fork.
• My hubby likes to sprinkle a little lemon or lime juice on his fish, but I like it just the way it is!

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Process almonds, parsley, shallots, and bread crumbs in a food processor. Stir in bread crumbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Rub mixture over trout fillets.
• Grill fillets, skin-side down, until trout flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Garnish fillets with fresh dill before serving.

Steps:

• Combine cornmeal and flour in pie pan. Season with salt and pepper. Coat trout with flour mixture. Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1/2 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 trout pieces; cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter. Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1/2 tablespoon oil in same skillet. Add remaining trout; cook until just cooked through. Transfer to platter.
• Wipe out any burned bits from skillet. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium-low heat. Add nuts and sauté until brown. Add lemon juice and boil until slightly thickened, scraping up any browned bits, about 1 minute. Add parsley. Season with salt and pepper and pour over fish. Garnish with lemon.
