Spice Rubbed Trout With Cauliflower Puree

Recipe #302097 | 45 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: The Flying Chef

This is super simple, quick and easy recipe to make yet it tastes great, is low is carbs and high in protein. I love fish but have not made trout often, I always thought I just didn't like it. That is until my hubby made a mistake one day and purchased smoked trout instead of the smoked salmon I had asked for. When I tasted it I could not believe how close to smoked salmon it was just a bit saltier and a little stronger in taste. I figured if smoked trout was not dissimilar, then surely fresh would be the same and it was. I still prefer salmon as trout is a more bonier fish, so you get a lot of small bones left in, but not so much that it is annoying.

Ingredients

  • teaspoons ground cumin
  • teaspoons fennel seed
  • teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 2 garlic clove, quartered
  • teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
  • tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 trout fillet
  • kg cauliflower, chopped coarsely
  • 40 g butter
  • 60 ml cream
  • teaspoon vegetable bouillon granules
  • 40 g butter, extra
  • tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Note: You will see from the photo how big my trout fillets were. If yours are small then please halve the spice rub mixture as it will be too much.
    2. 2
      Boil, steam or microwave cauliflower, until tender, drain.
    3. 3
      Blend or process cauliflower with butter, vegetable stock and cream, until smooth, season with salt and pepper. I make this first as this can be reheated in the microwave before serving.
    4. 4
      Dry fry spices in a small frying pan, stirring, until fragrant.
    5. 5
      Either grind spices, garlic and rind in a mortar with pestle until crushed. I started out this way then got impatient, and blended them, so really take your pick, I just wanted to go quicker.
    6. 6
      Combine the tablespoon of oil with the spice mixture, rub mixture over fish.
    7. 7
      Cook fish in a large oiled pan, until cooked through.
    8. 8
      While fish is cooking, melt the extra butter in a saucepan, stir over a low heat, about 3 Min's or until browned slightly, remove from heat and stir in juice.
    9. 9
      To Serve: Mound cauliflower puree on a plate top with trout and drizzle with browned butter.
