Mediterranean Trout In A Parcel Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium pot and fill with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until fork-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, cover, and set aside.
• While the potatoes are cooking, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet on medium high. Rinse the trout fillets and pat dry. Season the trout with the dried Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. Gently place the trout in the heated oil and pan fry without moving the fillets for 10 minutes.
• Carefully turn the fillets. Arrange the bell pepper and onions on top of the trout and cook for 5 minutes. Then, place the anchovies, olives, tomatoes, capers, and parsley on top of the fillets. Pour in the white wine and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve the trout and vegetables on a bed of steamed potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Set out 4 12 inch squares of foil.
• Place a trout fillet on each square and top with the vegetables and dill.
• Gather up the edges, add salt and pepper and 1/2 tbs of wine to each parcel and seal fully.
• Place on baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 210C/fan 190C/gas 7. Heat a baking sheet in the oven. Cook bulgar wheat according to the pack, drain, cool and fork in lemon zest and dill.
• Divide bulgar wheat between 2 sheets baking parchment. Sandwich together 2 fish fillets and sit on top. Sprinkle over fennel, spring onions, lemon juice, and season to taste.
• Wrap the parcels and put on the hot baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12 mins or until fish is opaque and feels firm, top with extra dill and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 170C/conventional 190C/gas 5. Boil potatoes in lightly salted water for about 12 minutes or until tender, then drain well.
• Take 2 large sheets of foil, about 30cm square, and brush the middle area of each sheet with the olive oil. Put a fish fillet on top and spread with the tomato paste. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and juice, add the cooked potatoes, olives and capers and season with ground pepper.
• Lay a sprig of rosemary or thyme on top then loosely wrap and secure each parcel tightly to completely enclose the ingredients. You can prepare these up to half a day in advance and keep them in the fridge.
• Put the fish parcels on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes when tested with a fork. Serve at once, with steamed green beans.
