Simple Lake Trout Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Line baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• Wash fish fillet and pat dry.
• Finely mince shallots.
• Slice lemon.
• Pour olive oil over both sides of fillet. (i put the oil on the paper or foil and coat one side then the other.).
• Place lemon slices on top of oiled paper or foil. Top with shallots, herbs and half of cracked peppercorns and salt.
• Bake for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a wide flat dish, combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, zest of 1 lemon and salt, to taste.
• In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and the juice of 1 lemon. Brush both sides of the trout with mustard mixture. Coat the fish on both sides with the seasoned bread crumbs and press firmly to adhere the crumbs to the fish.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Coat a large skillet with about 1/4 to 1/2-inch of olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Add the fish to the pan, skin side down, and cook the fish 2/3's of the way, about 6 to 7 minutes. Carefully turn the fish over and cook the other side until the fish is brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the fish from the pan and drain on paper towels. You will probably need to work in batches to do 4 fish. After the first batch is done and dried on paper towels reserve it on a rack in a warm oven.
• When all the fish has been fried, remove the oil and any brown bits from the pan. Add the butter and remaining lemon juice and swirl to combine as the butter melts. Season with salt, to taste, and reduce by about half. Transfer the fish to a serving platter, drizzle with the butter lemon sauce and serve.
• What a fishtale!

Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Place fillet, skin side down, in the center of an aluminum foil rectangle. Sprinkle dill over top, lightly squeeze some lemon over, and place a slice of lemon on trout. Fold foil over trout, leaving no air gaps, and fold edges to prevent leaking. Put foil pack on grill and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until fish is cooked to your liking. Flip twice during cooking.

Steps:

• Preheat large, heavy skillet until very hot.
• Combine paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, and oregano in a small bowl.Then place it in a shallow plate that's big enough to roll the fish inches.
• Dip fillets in melted butter, then in seasoning mixture, and place in hot skillet and cook 2-5 minutes on each side until blackened.
• reheat melted butter to a simmer, and pour in small bowls to use for dipping.
