BROWN BUTTER TROUT

This recipe is simple yet gives a real rich nut flavored taste to your catch. It only takes about 10 minutes to prepare. Keep in mind that you must use REAL butter in order to make the sauce.

Take a small lunch sack, and pour 1 cup of flour in sack. Drop fish in sack and shake. Set floured fish aside.

Melt real butter in saucepan, adding 1/2-tsp. lemon juice.

Cook butter over medium heat, constantly stirring until butter turns in to a dark brown sauce. Set on simmer.

Fry coated trout in another fry pan, adding onions, mushrooms, (almonds?), on med. heat.

Serve trout with sizzling hot brown butter sauce over it along with some fresh veggies.

BAKED TROUT

Fish that is baked cooks by dry heat, so it must be well greased or sauced in order to be palatable. Baste with some melted butter or oil or other liquid during cooking to keep the surface moist. Allow 20 to 25 minutes for two pounds fish fillets or steaks baked at 350 degrees; and 25 to 30 minutes for three pounds pan-dressed fish.

CHARCOAL BROILED TROUT

Broiling also is a dry heat method of cooking, but the direct heat is more intense. Choose fish that is at least 1 inch thick so it does not fall apart, and keep moist by basting well with butter, oil, fruit juice, or a combination of liquids. Broiling generally is done at about 3 to 4 inches from the source of heat. The thicker cuts should be placed far ther from the heat than thin ones.

BBQ TROUT

I don't know if this recipe is common knowledge or not, It tastes so good it's hard to believe it is so simple. When you go camping and you catch fresh trout this recipe is an absolute must.

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 whole cleaned trout
  • 1 cup chopped green onion
  • ½ cup of butter or margarine
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
  • 2 tablespoon dehydrated parsley flakes

Clean and rinse the trout well, don't ask me why but if you leave the head and fins on they taste better. Inside the body cavity place 1-tablespoon of butter, a generous amount of chopped onions, and a little salt, pepper, and garlic. On the outside sprinkle with parsley flakes and a little salt and pepper.

Double wrap the trout, one to a package in aluminum foil. Place on BBQ grill and cook 7-10 minutes on one side, flip over and cook an additional 5 minutes.

When you are camping always throw some BBQ corn on the grill for an excellent meal compliment, any breads and vegetables work well with BBQ trout.

This recipe has always been a must when we go camping. My wife and children are always on the lookout for fish bones when they eat fish, the bones just peel away when you cook the fish this way.

I hope you try this recipe on your next camping trip or backyard BBQ, I am sure you will be pleased with the outcome.

GRILLED WALLEYE OR OTHER FISH

Build charcoal fire on top of grill. Lots of charcoal, fire should be extremely HOT. You need a grill basket to clamp filets inside of. Prepare grill basket by spraying with PAM (TEFLON GRILL BASKETS ARE AVAILABLE), set aside. Melt one half-stick butter in microwave. Dry filets with towel then dredge in butter and place in basket. Season with Garlic, Pepper. Next sprinkle flour over filets sparingly to ad crispiness. Attach basket together and turn it over. Once again sprinkle with flour. When fire is extremely RED-HOT Put basket right on coals. 3 Minutes each side. Use Teflon Spatula to remove from basket.

BLUEFISH DIJON

Bluefish can be delicious! Even filets from larger fish, which are often strong flavored, are very tasty using this recipe. Children who normally will not eat fish will often gobble-up this dish.

  • 2 lbs boneless bluefish filets
  • 1\4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup Italian or other herb flavored bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Wash the bluefish filets with cold water and pat dry with paper towel. Lightly coat a 2" deep baking dish with no-stick vegetable spray and lay the filets in the dish. Combine the mayonnaise and mustard and then coat the bluefish filets with the mixture. Sprinkle 3/4ers of the breadcrumbs over the bluefish, distribute the diced tomato over the filets and then sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs over the top of the tomatoes. Bake the fish at 350 until flaky (this is one fish you don't need to worry about drying out) about 30 minutes.

Serve piping hot with a bitter greens salad, sourdough rolls and lemon splashed green beans. Yum!
