Alternative Preparation Method: Pan-Frying Onigiri Trout with Rosemary-Lemon Butter
While the indoor grill offers a unique smoky flavor and appealing grill marks, pan-frying is an excellent alternative for preparing onigiri trout with rosemary-lemon butter. This method is especially useful if you don’t have access to an indoor grill or prefer the convenience of using a stovetop. Pan-frying can provide a similar crispy exterior and tender interior, with the added benefit of being able to cook in a flavorful fat like butter or oil that can enhance the overall taste of the dish.
Ingredients
- 4 trout fillets, skin on
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil or unsalted butter, for frying
- Rosemary-Lemon Butter (same as previously mentioned)
Instructions
-
- Prepare the rosemary-lemon butter as described in the original recipe, combining softened butter with finely chopped rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt. Form it into a log, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm.
- Season the trout fillets with salt and pepper. If desired, you can also lightly dust them with flour for an extra crispy skin, but this step is optional.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of olive oil or unsalted butter to the pan, just enough to coat the bottom.
- Once the oil or butter is hot, place the trout fillets skin-side down in the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Transfer the cooked trout to a serving plate. Slice a piece of the chilled rosemary-lemon butter and place it on top of each hot fillet, allowing it to melt and infuse the fish with its aromatic flavors.
Tips for Making the Trout with Rosemary-Lemon Butter
Cooking Tips
- Pat the trout dry before seasoning to ensure the skin crisps up nicely.
- Don’t overcrowd the grill – cook in batches if necessary to allow each fillet enough space.
- Use a fish spatula for flipping the trout; it’s thin and flexible, ideal for handling delicate fish.
- If the butter is too soft to slice, use a hot knife (run it under hot water and dry it off) to cut through cleanly.
- Let the trout rest for a couple of minutes after grilling; this lets the juices redistribute for maximum moistness.
Serving Suggestions
- A side of garlicky sautéed spinach or roasted baby potatoes makes a great companion to the trout.
- For a lighter option, a crisp arugula salad with a lemony dressing will echo the citrus notes in the butter.
- As for drinks, a chilled Chardonnay pairs beautifully with the dish, enhancing its buttery profile.
