Hazelnut Crusted Trout Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cornmeal and flour in pie pan. Season with salt and pepper. Coat trout with flour mixture. Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1/2 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 trout pieces; cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter. Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1/2 tablespoon oil in same skillet. Add remaining trout; cook until just cooked through. Transfer to platter.
• Wipe out any burned bits from skillet. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium-low heat. Add nuts and sauté until brown. Add lemon juice and boil until slightly thickened, scraping up any browned bits, about 1 minute. Add parsley. Season with salt and pepper and pour over fish. Garnish with lemon.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• For the gremolata: In a small bowl, combine the parsley, hazelnuts, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and the salt. Mix well to combine.
• In a medium bowl, toss together the mushrooms, squash, 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Spread the mixture on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 12 minutes or until the squash is tender and beginning to brown. Remove the vegetables from the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
• Using a sharp knife, make 3 diagonal slashes on the skin side of each trout fillet. Season the fillets evenly with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and rub each one with 1/2 teaspoon of the oil.
• Place the fillets, skin side up, on top of the roasted vegetables. Broil for 8 to 9 minutes or until the skin is lightly browned and crisp and the flesh is cooked through but still moist.
• Place some of the vegetables on each serving plate and top with the fish. Serve topped with the gremolata.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil large rimmed baking sheet. Combine breadcrumbs, 1/2cup hazelnuts and 2 tablespoons parsley in medium bowl. Open trout and sprinkle flesh side with salt and pepper. Press hazelnut mixture into flesh side of butterflied fish. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 whole trout, hazelnut side down. Sauté until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer trout, hazelnut side up, to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining olive oil and trout.

Season sauce with salt and pepper; pour over fish. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon lemon peel and serve immediately.
