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.

RAINBOW TROUT WITH JASMINE RICE AND CITRUS VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Season trout fillets lightly with salt and pepper on both meat and skin sides. Lightly dust fillets with flour and shake off excess. In a non-stick skillet large enough to hold all 4 fish, heat the oil and butter over high heat until almost smoking. (You may need to work in batches or use 2 skillets if you don't have one that is large enough). Carefully place the trout, meat side down, in the skillet and saute for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully turn the fish over with tongs and finish cooking on the skin side, about 2 more minutes. With tongs, remove the trout from the skillet and serve immediately with the rice and vinaigrette.
• Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Add enough salt and pepper to make the water taste slightly salty. Cover and bring to a boil. When the water level drops below the rice, reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer for about 8 minutes and turn off the heat. Leave covered and let stand for about 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve hot with the trout.
• Add vinegar, citrus juice, shallots, and mustard to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds. Slowly add oil while machine is running until emulsified; the vinaigrette should be thick. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more citrus juice, to taste, if desired. Drizzle over trout. Toss with steamed fresh seasonal vegetables, if desired.

PAN-FRIED RAINBOW TROUT

Steps:

• Clean and pat dry the fish. Sprinkle the fish on the outside and in the cavity with the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour.
• Melt the butter in a saute pan and saute on medium heat for 5 - 10 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. The flesh should be white and flake easily when done. Take care not to overcook.
• Remove the fish to a platter. Swirl the remaining butter in the pan (add more if there is not enough) and add the parsley. Swirl a bit more until the parsley is thoroughly coated in butter. Pour over the fish and serve.

LEMON THYME RAINBOW TROUT

BAKED RAINBOW TROUT WITH LEMON, PEPPER, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Line a rimmed small baking sheet (I used half sheet) with parchment paper.
• Place rainbow trout skin side down in the center of the baking sheet. Brush half of olive oil amount over the top of trout.
• Toss the asparagus (ends trimmed) with the remaining half of olive oil. Place asparagus all around trout on a sheet pan.
• Sprinkle the trout and the asparagus with salt and pepper. Add minced garlic on top of the trout fillet and asparagus. Top with lemon slices.
• Bake for about 15 minutes at 400 F in the preheated oven until the trout is cooked through.
• Remove from the oven. Remove lemon slices from the trout before serving.

PAN FRIED RAINBOW TROUT

Steps:

• Wash the trout in cold water and pat dry to remove any tiny stray bones. Season the trout with salt and pepper, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat and cook the fish skin side down. Cook the trout in batches of 1 or 2 at a time. Cook the skin side for 2 to 3 minutes before turning with a spatula to cook the flesh side. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until fully cooked but be careful of overcooking as the fish are thin and cook quickly. As the trout are finishing, add the butter to the pan and allow to bubble before adding the tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, add the tarragon and remove from the heat. Serve immediately with fiddlehead ferns.;
