Trout fillet, crispy quinoa and oven-roasted mushrooms

Trout fillet, crispy quinoa and oven-roasted mushrooms

Trout filet cooked in an aromatic bouillon, we preferred to combine it with tender spinach leaves cooked in hazelnut butter and beautiful oven-roasted forest mushrooms. Quinoa, rich in iron and vegetable protein, added to the mushrooms, makes this dish light and healthy.

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
  2. Rinse 50 g of red quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine quinoa with 150 ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. While quinoa is cooking, clean 100 g of mixed forest mushrooms and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 0.25 tsp smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
  4. In a skillet, melt 30 g butter over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped shallot and 1 minced garlic clove, cooking until fragrant. Stir in 50 g spinach leaves and a touch of hazelnut butter, season with 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg, and cook until just wilted.
  5. Season 150 g trout fillet with 0.25 tsp ground white pepper and a pinch of salt. In another skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the trout, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. To serve, place the cooked quinoa on a plate, top with spinach mixture and roasted mushrooms, and lay the trout fillet on top.
