Grilled Steelhead Trout with Italian Agrodolce and Grilled Asparagus
INGREDIENTS
For the Agrodolce:
- ¼ cup golden raisins, coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup skin-on almonds, coarsely chopped and toasted
- 1 small red onion very thinly sliced, rinsed and patted dry
- ½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- Kosher salt to taste
- Parsley sprigs with tender stems
For the Trout and Asparagus:
- 4 (6-ounce) Riverence Steelhead Trout fillets, thawed and patted dry
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 16 thin asparagus spears, trimmed and brushed with olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh lemon
DIRECTIONS
For the Agrodolce:
- Place raisins in a small bowl and pour vinegar over raisins. Vinegar should cover the raisins.
- Let raisins sit, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes for raisins to soften.
- Meanwhile combine oil and almonds in a small skillet and cook over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flesh is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
- Mix raisins, onion, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes into almonds, season with salt. Let sit 10 minutes.
- Toss in parsley just before serving.
Instructions for the Trout and Asparagus:
- Pre-heat grill or grill pan to medium high heat.
- Brush Steelhead Trout with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place skin side down on grill and cook for 4-5 minutes. Turn over and continue to grill.
- Add asparagus on opposite side of grill and season with salt and pepper.
- When trout is opaque and flakey, and asparagus is cooked crisp-tender, remove to plates and top with the Agrodolce.
