Smoked Trout with Lemon Butter Caper Sauce
Ingredients
Ingredients for 6 hearty servings:
- 2lb wild trout (or six ~5oz pieces)
- pinch of sea salt & pepper
- spray olive oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter (I used Earth Balance)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons capers
- juice from 1/2 lemon (or to taste)
- 1/8 cup finely chopped parsley
- sea salt & pepper to taste
- Garnish
- fresh parsley
- cracked pepper or red pepper
Steps
Step 1
Fire up the grill (250F) or set oven to 400F. Add a pinch of sea salt & pepper to the trout filet, then spray with olive oil. If cooking on the grill, smoke for about 30 – 45 minutes. If baking in the oven, back for 20-25 minutes until the flesh is flaky.
Step 2
While the fish is cooking, set a nonstick skillet on low-medium heat and add olive oil and garlic. Flavor the oil by cooking the garlic for 3 to 5 minutes and be careful to not burn the garlic.
Step 3
Remove the skillet from the heat, then add the remaining ingredients to the skillet. Quickly stir the sauce so that it turns into a semi-creamy sauce, then pour it over the freshly baked trout.
Step 4
Garnish and enjoy!
