Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature for optimal cooking results.
-
Prepare Trout: Thoroughly wash the trout inside and out under cold water, then gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Season each trout with salt and pepper to taste, followed by dredging them in flour, ensuring to shake off any excess.
-
Pan-Fry Trout: In a heavy skillet or frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter along with 6 tablespoons of olive oil over moderately high heat. Once the foam subsides, carefully add the seasoned trout to the skillet and cook until golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, transfer the trout to a warmed platter and set them aside.
-
Prepare Mushroom Mixture: In a stainless steel skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over moderate heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and lemon juice to the skillet, shaking it constantly for even cooking. Allow the mushrooms to cook for 3-4 minutes until they are soft and glistening with butter. Once done, remove the mushrooms from the skillet and place them in an ovenproof dish.
-
Saute Onions: In the same skillet used for the mushrooms, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over moderate heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for approximately 1 minute, or until they become translucent and fragrant. Once cooked, transfer the sautéed onions to a small dish to keep them warm.
-
Brown Breadcrumbs: Utilize the remaining butter in the skillet to brown the breadcrumbs, infusing them with rich flavor and a golden hue.
-
Assemble and Bake: Arrange the cooked trout on a bed of sautéed mushrooms in the ovenproof dish, ensuring to add any juices from the fish for added flavor. Sprinkle the trout with the browned breadcrumbs, then scatter the sautéed onions over the top. Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the onions and breadcrumbs turn golden brown.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the Trotelle Alla Savoia from the oven and serve directly in the baking dish for a rustic presentation. Pair this delectable dish with tender new potatoes and a crisp salad for a complete and satisfying meal experience.
