Pan-Fried Trout with Green
Onions
- 2 whole (11 to 12-ounce) trout, boned*
All purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon butter
- Open each trout flat like a book. Sprinkle
generously with salt and pepper. Dust trout with flour and shake
off excess.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in heavy
large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 trout and sauté
until coating is crisp and trout is just opaque in center about
2 minutes per side. Transfer trout to plate and tent with foil
to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and trout.
- Wipe out skillet with paper towels. Set
aside 2 tablespoons green onions. Add remaining green onions,
wine and butter to same skillet. Simmer over medium heat until
mixture is almost reduced to glaze, stirring occasionally, about
3 minutes. Spoon sauce over trout. Sprinkle trout with reserved
2 tablespoons green onions and serve.
Serves 2, can be doubled.
*If you can't get the whole trout boned,
buy four fillets.
