Trout with Lemon & Parmesan Spaghetti

Updated: Jun 22, 2024

Wondering what to do with your leftover steak.  This yummy steak slider only takes about 20 minutes to make!





Ingredients

Lemon Spaghetti:

  • 250 g Spaghetti

  • Water, to boil pasta

  • sea salt

  • 1 fresh lemon

  • 4 tsp butter

  • Parmesan 

  • Salt

  • Pepper

  • fresh parsley

  • extra lemon juice (optional)


Trout:

  • 2 x trout fillets, skin on

  • Salt

  • Olive oil, to fry


Directions

Lemon Spaghetti:

  •  Cook the spaghetti until almost done (al dente).  When ready to rinse, first set aside about 1 ½ cups of pasta water before straining it.  

  •  In a saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups of pasta water with a tablespoon (3 tsp) of butter. 

  •  Once boiling, add the drained spaghetti. 

  •  Extract juice from two whole lemons (microwaving them briefly helps extract more juice) and add it to the pan along with salt, pepper, a tablespoon of parmesan, and freshly chopped parsley (including the stalks). 

  •  Stir well and reduce the heat to low.

  • Remove the lemon halves from the pasta pan and take the pan off the heat. Stir in a teaspoon of butter.  (You can add come chopped chilies for an extra burst of flavor) 

  •  Serve immediately.

Trout:

  •  To prepare the trout, ensure your knife is razor-sharp. 

  •  Glide the knife along the skin, creating shallow cuts without slicing all the way through. Trout's soft scales make this process forgiving. 

  •  Season the fish generously with salt.

  •  Heat olive oil in a pan over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly—indicating the pan is adequately hot. 

  • Carefully place the trout skin-side down into the pan, away from you.

  • Once the trout's skin crisps up nicely, carefully flip it—remembering to turn it only once. 

  •  Fry the trout for another 2 minutes and then remove it from the pan.
