Sea Trout with Creamy Sautéed Vegetables

August 23, 2012 By marketeditor

Once in a while a delightful culinary surprise results from unplanned but necessary experimentation in the kitchen. This recipe grew from one of those occasions.

It started last Saturday when Pura Vida Fisheries, a vendor at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market, ran out of my preferred choice, bluefish, and my plans for grilled lemon-treated fish with sweet corn evaporated. Sea trout made an excellent substitution, and I started thinking about a sauté instead of grilling, and succotash to go with it, using the fresh corn along with lima beans.

However, lima beans are not a household item for us nor are they available at the Market right now. But there was a wonderful abundance of garden fresh vegetables to choose from, and a combination of sweet peppers, fresh corn, candy-sweet onions and zucchini demanded to be enjoyed.

With a bit of daring, I sautéed these vegetables with a dash of hot pepper, then added chicken stock and local Battenkill Valley Creamery half-and-half to make a new variant of succotash. The result was divine. Combining pan seared fish over these creamed vegetables created a light succulent meal that tantalized the senses with sweet, hot, crispy, and creamy all at once.

The dish was a success and definitely worth sharing. Enjoy summer’s bounty!

 

Ingredients – Fish

3-4 fillets of fresh sea trout *

3 tsp. paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

2-3 tbsp. vegetable oil

 

Ingredients – Creamed Vegetables

2 tbsp. butter

½ candy sweet onion, diced *

1 sweet green pepper, diced *

½ sweet red pepper, diced *

1 fresh ear of corn, kernels cut from the cob *

1 small zucchini sliced *

¼ tsp. dried hot red pepper or 1 small hot red pepper diced * (Use less or more depending on desired hotness level.)

Chicken stock or water, about half a cup (Make your own chicken stock from ‘stewing chickens’ offered at the Market.)

½ cup Battenkill Valley Creamery half-and-half *

 

Directions – Fish

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

2. Sprinkle paprika, salt and pepper over the flesh side of the fish.

3. Place the fillets flesh side down in the pan and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the fish and cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, another 2 minutes. Turn off the skillet and set aside until the vegetables are ready.

4. Remove the fish from the skillet and serve over creamed vegetables.

 

Directions – Creamed Vegetables

1. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Add the onion and cook until glistening, about 3 minutes.

3. Add sweet pepper dices and continue to sauté another 4-5 minutes.

4. Stir in corn kernels. After 2 minutes add sliced zucchini and keep sautéing for 3 minutes. Stir in red pepper.

5. Pour in about a half cup of chicken stock or water, and continue stirring. Bring to a simmer and cook until the zucchini is tender.

6. Turn to low; add the half-and-half and stir until sauce has thickened slightly.

7. Add salt and pepper to taste.

8. Immediately plate veggies; put sautéed fish on top; serve and enjoy.

Starting off the week with another MCM (Market Cru Starting off the week with another MCM (Market Crush Monday!) This week we talked to Kim from Mugzy’s Barkery who brings healthy, locally made dog treats to the market. 
 
1. How did Mugzy’s Barkery get started? 
My sister Jaime started the business just over 5 years ago to have a healthier treat option to give her beloved Olde English Bulldog, Mugzy. Our treats are all natural and organic, providing a healthy alternative to mass-produced treats for caring dog parents. 
 
 2. What’s your favorite part about vending at the market?
Definitely getting to see all the dogs! The funny thing is I know all our regular customer’s dogs by name, not the owners. 
 
3. What are your most popular treat flavors?
Pumpkin paws (grain-free biscuits) and the pupcakes (a bite-sized treat) are really popular with the dogs but we also have flavors like PB cookie cups, apple cheddar training treats, banana buddies and more, so something to fit any pup’s tastes!
 
The PB cookie cups have been tried and approved by our market assistant’s dog, Lacey!
