I was very lucky recently when I went grocery shopping. The store was selling French trout and I immediately picked some up to bring home and cook. When I cooked the trout with the garlic sauce, it was so sweet and tender, that my husband insisted I include the recipe on this website. So here it is.
INGREDIENTS FOR TROUT:
- 10 oz. fresh trout (head and fins removed)
- 3 tbsp. lightly seasoned fish fry mix (can be purchased in many grocery stores)
- 2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- ½ cup of water
- ½ cup of olive oil
- 1/3 cup basil leaves
- 2 leaves red lettuce
- 4 each red chili peppers (cut in half)
PREPARATION FOR TROUT:
- Step 1: Combine the fish fry mix with ½ cup of water, mix it thoroughly.
- Step 2: Wash the trout and dip it into the fish fry mix to coat the outside of the trout, then brush it with the rice wine vinegar.
- Step 3: Heat the olive oil in a wok using a medium heat setting, then place the trout in the wok and fry for about 8 minutes on the first side, then flip it and continue frying the other side for about 6 more minutes or until the trout is crispy.
- Step 4: Remove the trout from wok and place on a paper towel to absorb the oil.
- Step 5: Place the red lettuce leaves on a serving platter, and put the fish on top of the lettuce and set aside.
- Step 6: Continuous heating the same wok using a medium high setting, and stir fry the basil leaves for 1 minutes or until crispy, then remove the basil leaves and set aside.
- Step 7: Add the red chili peppers to the wok and stir fry for a few minutes and set aside.
