Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium brook trout, gutted and cleaned, about 9 or 10 ounces each
3 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 lemons, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
4 1/2 teaspoons butter
4 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
4 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Four 12-ounce whole trout, boned and pan ready
4 sprigs fresh sage
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup stone mill ground cornmeal or all-purpose flour
1/3 cup rendered bacon fat
1 lemon cut into 8 wedges

Steps:

  • Rinse the trout and pat very dry. Place a sprig of sage in the cavity of each fish and season the inside with salt and pepper. Close the cavity by threading a wooden skewer through the flaps. Season the outside of the fish with salt and pepper and dredge in the cornmeal. (If dredging in flour, pat off the excess.)
  • Heat two large skillets over medium high heat and divide the bacon fat between them. When the fat shimmers add the fish and fry until crisp and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fish with a large flat spatula. Continue to cook the fish on the other side until just cooked though and golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer the fish to a platter and serve immediately with the lemon wedges.

BACON AND SAGE PANFRIED TROUT



Bacon and Sage Panfried Trout image

Categories     Bake     Fry     Bacon     Cornmeal     Trout     Spring     Sage     Gourmet

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 slices of bacon
3 tablespoons minced fresh sage leaves or 1 tablespoon dried, crumbled, plus fresh sage springs for garnish
8 trout (about 10 ounces each), cleaned and boned, leaving the head and tail intact
about 2 cups yellow cornmeal for coating the trout
1/3 cup olive oil
lemon wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large heavy skillet cook 8 of the bacon slices over moderate heat, turning them occasionally, until they are crisp, transfer them to paper towels to drain, and pour off the fat. Crumble the cooked bacon into a small bowl and stir in the minced sage. In the skillet cook the remaining 16 bacon slices in 2 batches until the bacon just becomes translucent and the edges begin to curl, transfer them to paper towels to drain, and pour off the fat.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Rinse the trout under cold water and pat them dry inside and out. Sprinkle the cavity of each trout with one eighth of the crumbled bacon mixture and salt and pepper to taste. Wrap 2 of the whole bacon slices around each trout, using wooden picks to secure the bacon and close the cavities. Mound the cornmeal on a sheet of wax paper and roll each trout in it, coating it completely and gently shaking off the excess.
  • Heat the skillet over moderately high heat until it is hot, add the oil, and heat it until it is hot but not smoking. In the oil fry the trout, not touching each other, in batches for 3 minutes on each sides, or until they are just firm and the bacon is golden, transferring them as they are fried with long spatulas to a shallow baking pan. When all the trout has been fried, bake them for 5 minutes, or until they just flake and are heated through. Discard the wooden picks, arrange the trout carefully on a platter, and garnish them with the sage sprigs and the lemon wedges.
