Grilled Steelhead Trout Fillets With Lavender Butter image

Exotic sounding, isn't? It tastes just good as it sounds. I made this for a date one time and it was a wonderful hit. I got this from "Pacific Passions Cookbook". Steelhead trout looks like Salmon and is a sweet cross between salmon and trout. You can use Salmon if you like it instead of trout

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shallot, finely chopped
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon lavender leaves, finely chopped
36 ounces steelhead trout
salt and pepper
flour (for dredging)
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, combine the vinegar, salt and shallots in a small, non corrodible saucepan.
  • Cook over high heat until the mixture is reduced by half.
  • Reduce the heat to very low and remove the pan from the heat.
  • Whisk in the butter cubes one at a time, making sure each cube is absorbed before adding another. Do not let the sauce boil or it will separate.
  • Regulate the heat by moving the pan on and off the burner.
  • The sauce will gradually thicken to the consistency of heavy cream.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the lavender leaves.
  • Preheat the barbecue to high.
  • Salt and pepper the fish.
  • Dip both sides in the flour, then into the oil.
  • Grill 2-3 minutes on each side until done to your liking.
  • Remove from the grill and place on heated plates or a large platter.
  • Pour the sauce over the filets and serve immediately.
