Steps:
- Mix 3 tablespoons butter, the lemon zest, juice, shallots and 2 tablespoons chives until well combined. Place the butter onto a small piece of plastic wrap and, using both ends of the plastic wrap, spin it around to make a cylinder. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Using needle nose tweezers, remove all the bones from the trout. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over moderate heat in a large nonstick skillet. Sprinkle the trout with salt and pepper. Place the fish skin-side down and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Using a sharp paring knife, slide the knife into the thickest part of the fish. If you don't feel any resistance, your fish is done. Transfer the fish to serving plates, top with butter and garnish with the remaining chives.
- BYOC: The beauty of this butter is you can make it anything you want. Why not try limes and chiles, lemon and mint, rosemary, thyme and sage? Anything goes when you are in the kitchen.
SAUTEED IDAHO BROOK TROUT WITH ORANGE
Steps:
- Place the trout in a large pan and pour in the milk. Spread the flour over a flat dish and season with salt and pepper. Remove the trout from the milk and dredge them in the flour, shaking to remove excess flour.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or black steel pan over high heat. Add the trout, flat side down, for about 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Turn and saute for another 2 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove and set aside. Keep warm.
- Pour off the excess fat from the pan. Add the orange sections, shallots and lemon thyme, and cook briefly, just to warm through. Do not brown the shallots. Stir in the lemon juice, the vodka and the soft butter. Blend well.
- To serve, place trout, one each, on warm plates, and spoon the sauce over it. Garnish with the basil.
