I often buy trout from Costco - it comes as two nice fillets that are pretty easy to prepare. This recipe will glaze two of those fillets (about 1.5 kg). It can easily be halved if you are planning on making one fillet and freezing the other for another use. (Original recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/steelhead-trout-baked-with-honey-or-maple-glaze-50175385)
This trout pairs nicely with some basmati rice and steamed green beans tossed in salt and olive oil. You can also sub out the maple for honey with the same results!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/3 onion, thinly sliced
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a glass bowl in the microwave. Whisk in the remaining ingredients.
2. Place the fish in the centre of a piece of foil. Pour the glaze over the fish and fold the packet around the fish.
3. Preheat the oven to 400F. (The fish will marinate while the oven heats up. This step is not necessary though; you can preheat the oven while you prepare the fish to save time.)
4. Bake for 10 minutes plus 10 minutes for each inch of thickness (ie: a one inch thick fillet would bake for 20 minutes.) Alternatively, you can subtract 5 minutes from your total cooking time, open up the foil and broil for 5 minutes.
