Ocean Trout

Charred Eggplant Baba Ganoush

Stone Fruit-Almond Vinaigrette

Method

Ocean Trout

  1. 1

    Prepare the Trout

    Season the Norwegian ocean trout fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Pan Roast the Trout

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the trout is cooked through. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the trout just before serving.

Charred Eggplant Baba Ganoush

  1. 3

    Char the Eggplants

    Preheat your grill or oven broiler. Prick the eggplants with a fork and place them on the grill or under the broiler. Char until the skin is blackened and the flesh is soft, about 20-25 minutes. Allow them to cool, then peel off the skin.

  2. 4

    Make the Baba Ganoush

    In a food processor, combine the charred eggplant flesh, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, olive oil, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Stone Fruit-Almond Vinaigrette

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    Chop the stone fruit into small pieces, discarding the pit. Add to a mixing bowl with chopped almonds, red wine vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
