Rainbow Trout with Caper-Herb Butter

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Pat the fish fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels, then sprinkle generously on both sides from above with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. For the caper herb butter: In a small bowl, mix the butter, capers, shallots, curry powder, Dijon, lemon zest and a generous pinch of salt. Set aside.
  4. For the Rainbow Trout: To a heavy-bottomed ceramic skillet or baking dish, add the 2 tablespoons melted butter and then the fish fillets skin side down. Top each fish fillet with a generous pinch of leeks and a spoonful of the Caper Herb Butter.
  5. Drizzle the white wine around the fish fillets. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the top of the skillet as a lid.
  6. Bake until the fish is opaque and cooked through, about 9-10 minutes.
  7. Serve each fillet garnished with a sprinkling of fresh chives, parsley and tarragon on top, and a lemon wedge.
