Cold Poached Trout With Horseradish Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Simmer 8 cups water, 2 cups white vinegar, 9 peppercorns, 1 fresh bay leaf, and 1 carrot and 1 leek (each sliced) for 10 minutes in a large straight-sided skillet. Add 2 butterflied whole trout. Simmer for 10 minutes, until opaque, and transfer to a platter with a large spatula. Whisk 4 tablespoons poaching liquid with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Drizzle over trout.

Steps:

• Bring enough vermouth or wine to rolling boil to cover trout halfway. Add trout and return to rolling boil. Turn off heat; cover pan and allow trout to cook in hot liquid 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from pan and cool. When cool enough to handle remove skin of the fish.
• Combine sour cream, horseradish and dill weed for dressing.
• Trout may be served cool or cold with sour cream dressing. Garnish with cucumber slices, if desired.

Steps:

• Lay the trout in a poacher or roasting pan. Pour the wine in, and add enough water to cover. Drop in the onion, bay leaf and peppercorns. Season the water with salt. Cover, and bring just to a boil. Turn off the heat and leave to cool to room temperature. Transfer the fish to a serving platter. Let sit 30 minutes, and then drain off any excess liquid. Pat dry. Remove the skin from the fish, leaving the head and tail intact.
• Prepare the cream mixture by beating the mascarpone with the chives, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Cut down the back of the fish and open out the fillets. Remove the bones. Spread most of the cream mixture inside and sandwich the fillets back together. Spread the cream in a thin layer of the remaining cream over the flesh of the fish. Lay over cucumber slices to cover the flesh completely, like fish scales. Lay a chive flower over the eye. Serve.

Steps:

• Place the water, sherry vinegar, spring onion, carrot, celery, and thyme in a pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes. Season the trout on the outside and in the belly with salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne. Place in the simmering court bouillon and poach for 7 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the thickest part of the flesh comes out warm.
• Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and set aside on a warm platter. Strain the cooking liquid and return 1/2 cup to the pot. Bring the court bouillon to a boil and add the butter slowly, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly. Continue whisking until all the butter is absorbed. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• To serve, place a trout on each plate and spoon the sauce over each. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• To make the fish cream sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken stock, fish stock, mussels, white wine, mushrooms, peppercorns, parsley, and chervil stalk together. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium high heat and reduce until about 3/4 of the liquid remains Remove the mussel shells and mussels. Add the cream and reduce further by half. Keep warm.
• To make the poached turbot: In a medium pot of boiling water, cook 8-ounces of the fresh peas until almost overcooked. Drain well and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a food processor and puree.
• Cut the iceberg lettuce into fine strips or shreds. Boil the remaining peas and when just cooked, remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter on medium-low heat. Add the shallots and garlic and sweat them, about 4 minutes. Then add the whole and pureed peas and iceberg lettuce, cook until lettuce has wilted. Season with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
• In a large wide saucepan, combine the wine and chicken stock together. Bring up to a mild simmer on low heat. Add the turbot and lightly poach. When almost cooked, about 8 minutes, add the langoustines and cook for an additional for 2 minutes. Remove the fish and langoustines, and keep warm.
• In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on medium-high heat. Add the giroles and cook until soft. Drain well and set aside.
• Combine the reserved fish cream, horseradish cream, cayenne, and lemon juice. Finish with a spoon of whipped cream and using a hand blender, mix well together.
• To serve, place a large spoonful of the pea puree in the center of the plate and decorate with 5 pieces of buttered asparagus around the plate. Sprinkle with giroles. Place the turbot on top of the puree and 2 pieces of langoustines on top of the fish. Spoon some of horseradish cream sauce on top and garnish with sliced truffles and parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• To make the couscous: Bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add a pinch of salt and the couscous. Stir the couscous and return to boil for 1 minute. Remove the pot from the heat, cover let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff the couscous with a fork. Mix in the diced vegetables, egg and herbs. Season the couscous with salt and lemon and allow to cool.
• To prepare the trout: Season the trout on both sides with salt and pepper. Lay fish skin side down. Spoon about 1/4 of the couscous onto the large end of each fillet. Fold the tails over (to make a tidy packet) and secure with toothpicks.
• Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until they are soft, about 7 minutes. Add the trout, wine, lemon juice, and saffron. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and lay them on the trout bundles. Add the herb sprigs, cover the pan and put it in the oven. Cook until the trout is flaky and the shrimp are opaque, about 5 minutes. Transfer the trout and shrimp to serving plates.
• To make the sauce: return the poaching liquid to a burner and simmer over high heat. Remove the herb sprigs and add the cream. Reduce the sauce until it coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes.
• Spoon sauce onto each of the plates. Garnish with dill, lemon, and chopped parsley and serve.

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:

• Wash trout in cold water. Blot dry. Slash outside flesh diagonally, 2 or 3 cuts to each fish.
• Cut lemons in half. Using 1/2 lemon for each trout, gently rub with cut side of lemon, squeezing as you rub. Season inside and out with salt & pepper. Sprinkle 1 tsp rosemary leaves in the cavity of each fish.
• Bring wine, stock, butter, and onion to simmer in shallow skillet or roasting pan. Add fish and simmer 12-15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate, in pan, 1 hour.
• Remove fish carefully from liquid. Lift off skin. Store on bed of paper towels on platter covered with foil or plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate liquid separately.
• Just before serving, arrange trout on beds of lettuce on individual serving plates.
• Pour over each fish 1 teaspoon of poaching liquid. Serve with mustard mayonnaise.
