Ingredients

1.5 pounds trout (or salmon, or arctic char - 2 large fish fillets with skin on the bottom)
2 tablespoons olive oil (more, if needed)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning ((dried thyme, oregano, parsley, combined together))
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
4 garlic cloves (diced)
3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
2 tablespoons white wine
2 tablespoons butter (softened)
2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)

Steps:

Season the top of fish fillets with Italian herb seasoning and salt (generously). Fish fillets will have skins on the bottom - no need to season the skins.
In a large skillet (large enough to fit 2 fish fillets), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat until heated but not smoking. To the hot skillet with olive oil, add fish fillets skin side up - flesh side down. Cook the flesh side of the fish for about 3-5 minutes on medium heat, making sure the oil does not smoke, until lightly browned.
Flip the fillets over to the other side, skin side down (add more oil, if needed). Cook for another 2-4 minutes on medium heat (to prevent oil from burning).
Remove the skillet from heat, close with the lid, and let the fish sit for 5-10 minutes, covered, in the skillet, until flaky and cooked through completely.
After the fish is cooked through, off heat, using spatula, carefully remove fillets to the plate, separating the fish from the skin. Carefully remove or scrape the fish skin off the bottom of the pan, making sure to leave all the cooking oils in the pan.
Add diced garlic, lemon juice, and white wine to the same pan with oil. Cook on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens a bit. Remove from heat. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the sauce, stirring, until the butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
Add fish to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, top the fish and sauce with the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley, and serve.

BAKED HONEY LEMON STEELHEAD TROUT

Provided by Victor

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 steelhead trout fillet ((scaled, skin on or off, about 2 lbs))
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp lemon juice ((or lime juice))
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 inch ginger root ((peeled and grated or thinly sliced))
2 cloves garlic ((pressed, minced or thinly sliced))
1 tsp kosher salt ((or sea salt))
1 tsp ground pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp fresh finely chopped parsley
1 Tbsp fresh finely chopped cilantro ((or use another tablespoon of parsley))
2 Tbsp white wine ((you can skip it if you don't any on hand, but I highly recommend adding it))
2 Tbsp fresh finely chopped parsley ((or cilantro, or a combination of both))

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.
Place the trout in a large baking dish or a plastic container, or a large Ziploc bag. Cover the fish with the sauce and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour, and up to 4 hours for best results.
Preheat the oven to 450F.
Transfer the trout, with the sauce, into a foil boat, place on a baking sheet and bake at 450F for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish is tender and flakes easily. Do not overcook. If you start seeing albumin (white fish proteins) coming out, that's a good indication that the fish has entered into over-cooked territory and needs to be pulled out immediately.
For better browning, place the rack in the second position from the top. You can also turn on the broiler on high about 12 minutes into baking to achieve even better browning. If the fish is browning too much before it is done, turn off the broiler and move the baking sheet down a couple of positions.
Serve with roasted vegetables, salad or rice.

Garlic-Lime Marinated Trout image

Categories Garlic Side Broil Lime Trout

Yield Serves 4; 3 ounces fish per serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

Marinade
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 trout fillets with skin (about 5 ounces each), rinsed
Cooking spray
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 medium lime, cut into 4 wedges

Steps:

In a large shallow dish, stir together the marinade ingredients. Add the fish, turning several times to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
Lightly spray the grill rack or broiler pan and rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium high or preheat the broiler.
Transfer the fish with the flesh side up to a large plate, discarding the marinade. Sprinkle the flesh side of the fish with the salt. Using your fingertips, gently press the salt so it adheres to the fish.
If grilling, place the fish with the flesh side down on the grill and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. If broiling, place the fish with the flesh side up on the broiler rack and broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 5 to 6 minutes without turning, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with the lime wedges to squeeze over the fish.
