BROOK TROUT MüLLERIN



Brook Trout Müllerin image

Trout cooked this way is called müllerin, "the miller's wife's" fish, because it's made from filets of mountain trout fished from the stream that powers the flour mill. It is precisely the same preparation and derivation as the French meunière. Don't be fooled by its apparent simplicity: layers of flavor are built by each ingredient in its turn-it is elegant in its simplicity. The trout filets are lightly coated with flour, browned in a pan with good butter, and by the time the fish is cooked, the butter has turned nutty brown and the fish is crisp and tender. Just before serving, a squeeze of lemon and freshly chopped parsley turn the butter in the pan into bubbly foam which is then spooned over each filet.

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 skin-on brook trout filets
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup flour
4 tablespoons butter
1 lemon, halved
Leaves from 4 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Season both sides of the filets with salt and pepper and lightly dust with flour. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the filets, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is brown and crispy, 3-5 minutes. Carefully turn with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Squeeze the lemon over the fish and add the parsley. As the sauce begins to bubble up, spoon ample butter over each filet and serve immediately.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
8 ounces white mushrooms, halved or quartered if large (about 3 cups)
1 small green bell pepper, chopped, plus more for garnish (optional)
1 shallot, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco, plus more for serving
Four 4-ounce skin-on trout fillets, pin bones removed
1 lemon, sliced into rounds (optional)
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack about 2-inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, covered, until the mushrooms release their liquid, about 4 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are pale golden, about 5 minutes more. Add the wine and boil until reduced to a glaze, about 8 minutes. Add the broth and fish sauce and boil until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Stir together the cream and cornstarch, and stir into the sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in the hot sauce.
  • Arrange the lemon slices, if using, on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until charred in spots. Remove to a plate.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Put the trout skin-side up the baking sheet and spoon the butter over the top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and broil until just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the trout to serving plates. Spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with cilantro and bell pepper if using. Serve with broiled lemon slices and more hot sauce for drizzling.

BUTTERFLIED TROUT IN LEMON CAPER BUTTER

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 butterflied whole trout
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Flour, for dredging
Olive oil, for sauteeing
2 tablespoons butter, plus 1 tablespoon
2 lemons, supremed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon capers
Toasted Croutons, recipe follows
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 (1/2-inch thick) slices white bread, crusts removed and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Lay out the trout so the skin side is down. Open the flesh like a book. With a sharp knife, carefully cut out the backbone, making sure to keep the fillets attached at the head and the tail. Season both sides of the trout with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly dredge both sides of the trout with flour, shaking off any excess. Heat a large saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Heat the oil until it shimmers when swirled. Carefully add the trout, flesh-side down, starting at the tail and laying away from you towards the head. You may need to cook the trout in batches. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
  • Once the trout is all cooked, return the pan to medium-high heat and remove all but 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and cook just until it begins to brown and smell nutty, about 3 minutes. Add the capers, lemons, croutons, white wine, and lemon juice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley and pour over the trout.
  • Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the bread cubes and cook, stirring, until toasted and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cool.
