Skillet Fried Trout With Herbs And Tomatoes Food

PAN-FRIED TROUT WITH ROSEMARY, LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Press 1/2 teaspoon of the rosemary needles into the flesh of each trout fillet. Combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Coat the fillets in the seasoned flour.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the trout and saute until cooked through, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the trout from the pan and place on warmed plates. Add the shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 15 seconds.
• Pour in the wine and reduce to 1/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, capers and remaining teaspoon rosemary and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place 1 trout fillet on each of 4 plates, spoon the sauce over the trout and serve immediately.

PANFRIED TROUT WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Rinse trout, and pat dry. Combine 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and flour on a plate. Season insides of fish with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Insert 3 slices of lemon inside each fish, and dredge in flour; shake off excess.
• Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil in an 11-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 trout, arrange 4 or 5 lemon slices around fish, and cook until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. If lemon slices begin to burn, put them on top of fish. Turn fish, and cook until it has a golden crust and is flaky and moist, about 5 to 6 minutes more.
• Remove fish from skillet, and keep warm wrapped in foil. Repeat twice with remaining trout, butter, oils, and lemon slices. Serve fish with some of the cooked lemon slices.
