Trout With Lime Thyme Recipes

Steps:

• Put the trout in a dish and add the milk, salt and pepper. Turn the fish in the milk to coat well. Set aside.
• Cut the mushrooms into thin slices. There should be about two cups.
• Peel the limes. Cut the flesh from the white pulpy sections to make wedges. Set aside.
• Remove the fish from the milk without patting it dry. Dip the fish in the flour to coat on all sides. Shake off the excess.
• Heat the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the fish in one layer. Add the fish and cook over moderately high heat 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown on one side. Turn and cook on the second side, basting often, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the fish to a hot serving platter.
• Meanwhile, heat one tablespoon of the butter in a skillet and add the mushroom slices. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring, until mushrooms wilt. Cook until the liquid evaporates. Continue cooking until browned, about three minutes in all.
• Arrange the mushroom slices neatly over the trout. Arrange the lime slices symmetrically between the mushroom slices. Sprinkle any accumulated lime juice over the trout.
• Heat the remaining three tablespoons butter in a skillet until it melts. Continue cooking until the butter is lightly browned. Pour this over the trout. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, or 8 sheets of lighter foil, into squares that are 3 inches longer than your fish. If using lighter foil, make 4 double-thick squares. Oil the dull side of the foil with olive oil and place a trout, skin side down, on each square. Season both sides with salt and pepper and open them out flat.
• In a bowl combine the tomatoes, garlic, 1 teaspoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon over the middle of each trout. Place 1 or 2 sprigs of thyme on top, and fold the two sides of the trout together. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each fish.
• Making sure that the trout are in the middle of each square, fold the foil up loosely, grab at the edges and crimp together tightly to make a packet. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, checking one of the packets after 10 minutes. The flesh should be opaque and pull apart easily when tested with a fork.
• Place each packet on a plate. Carefully cut across the top to open it, taking care not to let the steam from inside the packet burn you. Gently remove the fish from the packet and pour the juices over. Sprinkle with parsley or thyme and serve, passing the lemon wedges.
