Trout Parmesan Food

PARMESAN-CRUSTED TROUT

Steps:

• Spread the cheese in a flat-bottomed dish large enough to hold a trout fillet.
• Dredge each fillet, flesh side down, in the cheese. Arrange the fillets, flesh side up, on a clean dry work surface and coat with additional cheese.
• Heat a heavy non-stick skillet sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray over medium-high heat. Arrange the fillets, flesh side down and not touching, in the hot skillet;cook for 3 minutes.
• Turn the fillets once; cook 2 minutes longer.
• Serve hot with lemon wedges.

BAKED PARMESAN TROUT FILLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place trout fillets in a greased shallow baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, onion, and salt; spread over fillets.
• Sprinkle with paprika.
• Bake 20-25 minutes or until fillets flake easily with a fork.

TROUT PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat several inches of oil in a large, heavy Dutch oven to 375 degrees F.
• Wash and pat dry the trout. Dredge the trout in the flour to lightly coat. Dip the trout into the egg wash.
• Firmly pat the trout into the grated Parmesan until the entire fish is coated. Fry for approximately 5 to 6 minutes in the hot oil until golden brown.
• Although there are many recipes for hollandaise, we recommend our blender hollandaise sauce for ease and accuracy. In a blender, combine the lemon juice, egg yolks, and salt at high speed. Drizzle in the hot butter until the mixture is thick. Add the cayenne and hot sauce just before done. Place a ribbon of hollandaise down the center of the trout.

OATMEAL-CRUSTED TROUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Coarsely grind the oatmeal in a food processor. Transfer to a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Beat the egg and milk in another shallow dish.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Remove and reserve all but about 2 tablespoons drippings from the skillet. Add the leeks and garlic to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the parsley, bacon, and salt and pepper to taste; keep warm.
• Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels. Dredge the trout in the oats, dip in the milk mixture and then in the oats again, turning to coat. Heat the reserved bacon drippings with the olive oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the trout in batches until golden on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip and fry until cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Add the vinegar to the skillet and bring to a boil. Serve the trout with the leeks and drizzle with the vinegar dressing

PECAN-CRUSTED TROUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Mix pecans, rosemary, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Place flour in a separate shallow bowl. Dip trout fillets in flour and shake off excess; dip fish into beaten egg, then into seasoned pecans, lightly pressing pecan coating onto fish. Arrange fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.

SMOKED TROUT CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with cold salted water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium, covered, then reduce heat as needed to maintain a simmer until potatoes are tender, 20-30 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Mash warm potatoes with butter, then stir in Parmesan, chives, horseradish, pepper, 2 beaten eggs, and 1/2 tsp. salt until smooth. Fold in trout and mozzarella. Form potato mixture into about 60 round croquettes (about 2 Tbsp. each).
• Place remaining 2 beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Place panko in another shallow bowl. Dip 1 croquette into egg, letting excess drip off, then roll in panko to coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining croquettes.
• Pour oil into a large pot to a depth of 4". Heat over medium-high until it sizzles when you toss in a pinch of panko or a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°. Working in batches, fry croquettes, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 4-5 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season with salt. Serve immediately with lemon wedges alongside.
• Do Ahead: Croquettes can be formed and coated 2 days ahead. Cover and chill on baking sheet.
