Crab Stuffing

Trout

Browned Butter Sauce

Method

Preparation of Crab Stuffing

  1. 1

    Make the Stuffing

    In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, cream cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, lemon juice, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Prepare the Trout

  1. 2

    Stuff the Trout

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the Ruby Trout filets under cold water and pat dry. Season the inside of each filet with salt and black pepper. Generously stuff each filet with the crab mixture.

  2. 3

    Bake the Trout

    Place the stuffed trout on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the top and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the trout is cooked through.

Browned Butter Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Sauce

    While the trout is baking, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Stir in fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley before removing from heat.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate and Serve

    Once the trout is cooked, carefully transfer to plates and drizzle the browned butter sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
