| Whole glazed trout - Fish
Cooking Recipes Ingredients:
1 whole trout, weighing approx. 1.5 kg
Per litre water:
2 tbs. salt
1 bay leaf
8 peppercorns
1 slice of lemon
1 packet of powdered aspic
5 dl water or fish stock
Garnish: parsley, fresh dill and lemon slices
Cooking Recipes Directions
Choose a saucepan that will hold the fish bent into a semicircle.
Place the fish with the backbone uppermost in the saucepan,
just cover with water and add the flavourings. Bring to the
boil and skim. The fish should only simmer for about 8 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave the fish in the
stock until it is cold, preferably until it is to be served.
It can be kept like this for up to a day in the refrigerator.
A 1-1.5 kg trout should simmer for 5 minutes. A 1.5-2.5 kg
trout should simmer for 8 minutes. A 2.5-3 kg trout should
simmer for 10 minutes. Dissolve the aspic. Remove the fish
from the stock and cut along the back fins, around the tail
and around the head. Pull the skin carefully off the body,
leaving it on the tail and head. Remove the strip of fat along
the back fins. Let the fish drain before placing it on a serving
dish. When the aspic begins to thicken, brush the whole fish
with aspic. Be sure to cover the whole fish, as this will
prevent it from becoming dry. Garnish with lemon slices, parsley
and fresh dill.
