Rainbow Trout With Jasmine Rice And Citrus Vinaigrette Food

CITRUS TROUT ALMONDINE

Steps:

• Drizzle 2 sheets of foil with olive oil; sprinkle each with 1/4 cup sliced almonds and 3/4 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds. Brush four 6-ounce trout fillets with more olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place each fillet, skin-side down, on top of the nuts. Top with a few orange slices (leave the peel on), then add another fillet, skin-side up, to form a trout sandwich. Sprinkle with more almonds and coriander seeds. Fold up the foil sheets and grill over high heat until the fish is just cooked through and the almonds are toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully loosen the almond crust from the bottom of the foil with a spatula.

BAKED FRESH RAINBOW TROUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with about 1 teaspoon olive oil.
• Place trout in the prepared baking dish and coat with remaining olive oil. Season the inside and outside of fish with dill, thyme, and salt. Stuff each fish with onion slices; grind pepper over the top. Place 1 lemon slice on each fish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; add water to dish. Continue baking until fish flake easily with a fork, about 10 minutes more.

CRISPY GOLDEN TROUT ON FRAGRANT BASMATI RICE W/CHILE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To prepare vinaigrette:> Combine cilantro, green onions, ginger, shallots, garlic, sesame seeds, chile paste, honey, vinegar, soy sauce and oil in a medium bowl; whisk to mix well. Set aside. Vinaigrette can be prepared ahead to enhance flavors; whisk before serving. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups.).
• To prepare trout and rice: Stir together flour, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Dip trout in flour mixture, coating lightly but completely.
• Heat about 1/8 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; when oil is hot, add trout, skin side down, and fry about 2 minutes. Turn and fry about 2 minutes more, until cooked through.
• While fish is cooking, in a second skillet, combine rice, basil, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper to taste and butter; cook and stir until hot, about 5 minutes. Mound the rice mixture in the center of 2 serving plates, creating as much height as possible. Arrange trout on top of rice. Ladle vinaigrette around rice; garnish with cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately. Refrigerate any remaining vinaigrette for later use.

LEMON THYME RAINBOW TROUT

• Divide fish into 4 equal pieces if necessary.
• In shallow bowl, combine flour, lemon rind, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Dip fish into lemon juice; dredge in flour mixture, turning to coat.
• In nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook fish, turning once, for 6 to 8 minutes or until flakes easily when tested with fork.
