Trucha al Ajillo (Trout with garlic sauce) Recipe
Ingredients for 4 servings:
- 4 small trout, cleaned, scaled and split horizontally
- 4 cloves of garlic
- cayenne to taste
- 1 bouquet of parsley
- olive oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Directions:
Open the trout like a book and rub the flesh (or filets) with the lime juice and set aside.
Put oil in a griddle or non-stick skillet and heat it over high heat. When it is hot add the trout that you previously seasoned. Once the trout is golden, remove from the heat and reserve.
Heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat, add the garlic puree and cook, stirring, for a few seconds, or just until fragrant. Add salt to taste. Then add the cayenne.
Place each trout or filet on a piece of buttered aluminum foil and spread the garlic mixture evenly over the fleshy surfaces.
Fold foil to seal edges and bake in a preheated 350° F oven until fish flakes easily with a fork. Whole fish will take longer than filets.
Pour the seasoned oil over the trout and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
