Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the White Bean Purée

    In a saucepan, combine the white beans and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Use an immersion blender to purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Haricot Verts

    In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the haricot verts and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Trout

    In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the minced garlic. Place the trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes while basting with the brown butter until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Gremolata

    In a small bowl, mix together chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. This will be used as a fresh topping for the dish.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Plate

    On each plate, spread a generous spoonful of the white bean purée. Place the trout fillet on top, add a serving of haricot verts on the side, and finish with a sprinkle of gremolata.
